In this novel, readers go on the adventure of realizing the chapters alternate between two different worlds and narrators-but are they completely separate? I’ll need a few more reads to tell you for sure (and maybe not even then), but I’m not certain they are. I think it matches well with the imagination required for the journey through alternating perspectives and settings, and we see components of Murakami’s novel clearly represented: the brain, the skull, the two separate but connected figures… All of this resonates deeply with my current understanding of The Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. In the running theme of including artwork associated with the novels I’ve read, I thought I’d feature this piece by Laura Spencer Illustrates because of how fantastical it is. ![]()
