I don't know how I missed it, but Mitchell takes on Murakami's latest. Which makes perfect sense, given how much of a fanboy Mitchell in turn is of Murakami! But to be fair, Mitchell quibbles over the homogeneity of Murakami's tone, pointing the reader to other great Murakami tomes in place of this one. Even so, "respect is due." (via Tingle Alley)
