i’m about to finish kafka on the shore, and realizing that murakami may be my “favorite” author- if for no other reason than the number of his works i’ve actually finished. this is an odd realization because he’s an author who frustrates me- the random uncomfortable horniness and flat female characters are hard to ignore. but i love his direct yet poetic prose and his wacky style of magical realism.
can anyone recommend either authors or titles that scratch the same itch as murakami’s writing? preferably even a non-male author?
