I felt bad for voicing criticism. Especially since I didn't address your question about the new novel.

He's a talented writer. He employed a lot of interesting meta-fictional techniques. But, IQ84 was a letdown for me at the end. (Partly because I actually purchased the novel.)

Yet, my understanding is that IQ84 lends an important insight into the popular culture of post Fukushima Japan. --Tace
