Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

it took me ages - but i finally finished reading it.
"Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" is a 1985 novel by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. It was awarded the prestigious Tanizaki Prize in 1985.
Its plot structures 2 parallel stories, happening in 2 different worlds, intertwining with each other. The two storylines converge, exploring concepts of consciousness, the unconscious mind (or as it incorrectly referred to, subconsciousness) and identity. [This is a good inspiration for me on how to construct my narrative in my film.]
i can't believe the name of "J. G. Ballard" appears in it - i feel that my life is now constantly surrounded by his name.
. i like Murakami .
