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

Yeah, I kinda scratched my head over that too. Of course, it could just be a case of, well, just because someone makes an overreaching generalization about life, doesn't mean it's true. Even in a book.

Or, maybe the missing chapters tie it all together. When can we expect Lani to be finished translating them for us?

That's true, certainly. But Murakami emphasizes the sentence, repeating it several times over a few pages. So obviously it has some significance but I'm not sure what he sees it being, particularly since nothing gradual ever happens in the book other than Toru's understanding at the bottom of the well.
