I love the ambiguity in Murikami's writing, but I find I prefer things less spelled out. I think that is why I've been thinking quite a bit about the various passages about imagination. He requires much more use of the readers' own imagination to try and fit things together and, something they just don't fit. I sort of like this ambigious aspect. I find it much more interesting as a reader than when things are spelled out to me with many facts. When I list many of my favorite writers, many of them have at least some aspect of ambiguity.
