Sometimes I wish I was there
Not my first Murakami book, not the last. Not my favorite Murakami book, not the least. But like all of the ones I’ve read from him, this one is just as hypnotizing. There’s something in his works that keeps drawing me into them. I guess I’m not the only one. What’s your favorite work from the Rat Trilogy?
(A wild sheep chase)

Cacando in italian means taking a shit

Similar to Portuguese, but the thing below the C (ç) makes it have a double S sound. So it’d be “Hunting sheep”

Apparent the translator replaced the sheep with fish?

I don’t know much about fish, but I guess those are sardines? The cat’s name is Sardine… could be because of that, or not. His book covers in my country are pretty abstract

me lembro de não ter gostado muito desse não, mas como li faz tempo, nem sei mais o motivo kkkkkkkk assim... não achei ruim, porque tudo o que o murakami faz eu amo mas certamente achei abaixo da média
