"It's not just Murakami but also the shadow of Borges that hovers over this mesmerizing book . . . [and] one may detect a slight bow to the American macabre of E. A. Poe. Ogawa stands on the shoulders of giants, as another saying goes. But this collection may linger in your mind--it does in mine--as a delicious, perplexing, absorbing and somehow singular experience." --Alan Cheuse, NPR
