Book 65 > The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

Shipwreck SF

Break out the Cutty Sark and jump in the nearest well: it's time for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. We take four humans and two animals from Murakami's most iconic book and assign them to six writers tasked with the impossible: creating even weirder sex scenes than the ones in the book. Is naming yourself Malta better or worse than saying 'the loo' after your year abroad? Is Toru the most boring person in all of literature? Will there be weird asides about spaghetti and the war? Turn on, tune in, and mope out.

Stories from Danielle Truppi, Sarah Blake, Corin Chellberg, Calvin Albright, Christina Ortega, and one anonymous donor. Stories performed by Baruch Porras-Hernandez.
