Jim Brown reviewed The Strange Library by Haruki Murakami
Wonderful, weird little book
Murakami channeling Borges. In addition to being a great, weird story, the book design is incredible.

Review of 'The strange library' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Det er den klart mærkeligste af Haruki Murakamis bøger, jeg har læst, og det er ellers ikke fordi, ingen af de andre er mærkelige. Jeg har svært ved at finde mening med den her, og den fangede mig ikke rigtigt - i modsætning til mange andre af hans historier.
