We also have the sheep professor who locks himself in one of the rooms of Dolphin Hotel owned by his son. Then the disappearance (and reappearance) of his friend, the Rat. In a nutshell, we have our protagonist who’s living a mediocre life, haunted by a whale’s penis, who doesn’t seem to be affected with his wife’s betrayal which led to their divorce, and soon meets a girl with unusually beautiful ears. Moreover, Murakami has a way of describing the characters’ feelings like no other. They are mostly intriguing that I really care about what’s going to happen to them. 🙂 It was also while reading this that I realized how much I care for the characters in Murakami’s books.
In this final book of the trilogy, we still have our unnamed characters from the previous books and we finally have one named character, too! Kippler, the cat. I was able to understand it better as well and it opened my eyes to things I wasn’t able to grasp on my first reading.
I’ve decided to reread A Wild Sheep Chase since I’ve just finished the first two books of The Rat Trilogy just recently and it felt like reading it for the first time… twice! I can say I appreciate this book more now.
