I enjoyed this analysis and visualization! I wanted to see where my interest lies with his work, but I cannot even decide! But I tend to lean more towards magical realism, the setting does not matter much.

When I try to recall his settings, I realize I can only remember a few details, but more of how I felt. Maybe that's his skill—even his realistic settings felt dreamlike.

I’m very interested to read your book on Murakami! He’s one of my favourite writers (1Q84 being one of my favourite novels ever written!).

I actually read your book Scientologist! last year while I was writing an essay on William S. Burroughs for a module at University. It was brilliant, and the first time I really understood Korzybski’s influence on Burroughs!

So thank you for that! I’ll try and pick up your book on Murakami soon. all best wishes!
