Always a fascinating read, is HM.

Still traumatized by a passage in The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. It's gruesome, so I won't describe it here.

His best book by a mile and everyone who's read it knows exactly which part you're referring to. Once read, never forgotten.

Vividly recall reading Wind-Up Bird Chronicle when it came out and have never gone back to it again due to the passage noted above.

Would that involve very skilled Mongolians and their knives?

I would rank his short stories collection "The Elephant Factory" amongst his best.

His books are so boring. I really don’t get the hype.
