Review of 'Wind/Pinball: Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 (Two Novels) (Vintage International)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Not one, but two novels dating back to Murakami’s first writing days. Both experimental, tentative. To me, one of these experiments a glorious succes, the other an equally glorious failure.

Why so glorious? Well, this is where we see a new voice finding itself, struggling to break out, and succeeding.
