A sprawling, confusing, and ultimately very Japanese book. Taking place in a fictionalized 1984 (authoritarian themes there) and from the dual perspective of Aomame and Tengu.
They have been in love since they were 10, but haven't seen each other since then, and are now lost in a parallel universe where "The Little People" control the world from behind the scenes.
The writing is amazing, layered, and at some points very dense and confusing. But it pulls you in even as it confuses you. Worth a read... a very long read.
