There is a solitary, inward-looking boy an ordinary public building containing a profound mystery a hidden labyrinth a sinister and grotesque man looming over the boy’s life in a threatening way a sheep man (I have to admit to a soft spot for Murakami’s recurring sheep-man character - in this story, he even makes doughnuts what’s not to love?) and an ethereal now-you-see-her-now-you-don’t beautiful female guide and protector, who doubles as the boy’s pet starling. The Strange Library is sure to be engagingly familiar for most Murakami fans, regarding the set, the props, and the unlikely hero. *** Warning: this review contains a slew of spoilers *** Book Review: The Strange Library, by Haruki Murakami td Whittle Posted on December 28, 2014
