Query: Who Knew Sheep Were So Interesting?

While I didn't like this novel as well as IQ84, which I read first, I did enjoy the novel. It was especially interesting to see how the newer novel emerged from similar narrative techniques and to some extent similar themes. For Murakami "beginners," this novel gives glimpses into a world that sits in the nexus between reality and fantasy, which is right where the author would want us. The story does include a wild sheep chase. Forget about geese!
