At the end of 2018, however, I read Norwegian Wood, which is a much earlier book but, even there, his descriptions of women's bosoms are all over the story. Which doesn't seem to fit the tone of the narrator in that case either (he, as a character, doesn't seem all that interested, even though apparently he is the one noticing)! <br /><br />How is it that you haven't read The Secret Library? Is it just not as interesting? Or is it harder to get? It's a strange and charming bookish story. (I liked it a lot, but I didn't love it. And I rather thought that I would have.)Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.com
