Finally an hour to catch all of the bits and pieces... Murakami's "A Wild Sheep Chase" is causing bizarre dreams. The premise in the hands of any other writer would be unworkable. But he makes the impossible available on the edge of reality.

This is the blurb:

His life was like his recurring nightmare: a train to nowhere. But an ordinary life has a way of taking an extraordinary turn. Add a girl whose ears are so exquisite that, when uncovered, they improve sex a thousand-fold, a runaway friend, a right-wing politico, an ovine-obsessed professor and a manic-depressive in a sheep outfit, implicate them in a hunt for a sheep, that may or may not be running the world, and the upshot is another singular masterpiece from Japan’s finest novelist.
