LoT Book CLub - Book 2 - Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

[Not Afraid]

I don't have any idea if my own thoughts are based in any sort of reality, but I'm ok with that.

Here's where I had the thoughts about the man with no face:

Spoiler:

p242, The place was filled with people straining to catch every word that Noboru Wataya spoke. I cut across the lobby and headed straight for a corridor that connected with the guest rooms. The faceless man was standing there. As I approached, he looked at me with that faceless face of his. Then, soundlessly, he moved to block my way.

"This is the wrong time," he said. "You don't belong here now."

But the deep, slashing pain from Noboru Wataya now urged me on. I reached out and pushed the faceless man aside. He wobbled like a shadow and fell away."

This is the second time (the first being when he tell off Norobu in the restaurant) Toru actually acts on something rather than just being completely passive about it.

But, the idea of the faceless man representing Norubu deserves some thought.
