A dark and surreal tale of a boy's adventures in a strange library. The format and full-page colour illustrations make it even more dreamlike. Murakami paints two pictures for us: the boy's regular life with his mother and pet starling, and his strange trip into the basement labyrinth of the city library. Much is left to the reader's imagination, particularly how these two narratives intersect. A short and enjoyable read, especially for those interested in the strange and peculiar.
