The main character, an unnamed writer, is once again drawn into mystical events related to the disappearance of his lover and the mysterious Dolphin Hotel. Murakami masterfully creates an atmosphere of loneliness and alienation, exploring themes of loss, the search for meaning, and human connections. Critics also emphasize that the author skillfully balances between reality and fantasy, creating a multilayered and captivating plot. Some reviewers note that the novel may seem drawn out, but overall it leaves a deep impression and prompts reflection on the nature of human existence.
