The Strange Library

Notes

I actually just googled the book finally, and found out that it's not new Murakami, but actually an old short story that was recently published in English for the first time.

I have no idea why this 'novella' exists, except to show off Chip Kidd's collection of hi-resolution ephemera. But I read, and enjoyed it anyway.

Quotes

At the same time, my anxiety had turned into an anxiety quite lacking in anxiousness. And any anxiety that is not especially anxious is, in the end, an anxiety hardly worth mentioning.
