The other is set in a much more surreal, otherworldly setting called The End of the World, where a young man is separated from his shadow upon entering. The first of these follows an unnamed man who works as a 'Calcutec' in a somewhat realistic, yet still entirely surreal, world setting. Hard-Boiled Wonderland is divided into two narratives. I always feel wonderfully refreshed after finishing one of his books, and Hard-Boiled Wonderland was no exception. His books aren't just ones that I pick up on the fly and read here and there I almost always wait until I'm not overly busy to read his books, because they have this wonderfully cozy, calm effect that is perfect for those lazy days or breaks from the monotonous events of life. I always look forward to reading Murakami. The world created by Murakami in Hard-Boiled Wonderland the End of the World is both familiar and unfamiliar. There is so much to say, yet also so little that can capture the quality and content of his writing. When it comes to Murakami, I am never entirely sure where to begin my review.
