    Slightly easy Murakami with a Happy Ending
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in India on 27 December 2018*

"Today when I woke from a nap the faceless man was there before me. " I finished Killing Commendatory almost 10 days back and till now I was struggling to decide how to share my opinion and review on the same. In one line, Killing Commendatore was a weird and bizarre yet beautiful read.Killing Commendatore is story of our unnamed narrator, a gifted portrait painter who can capture essence of people! He is recently separated from his wife and after aimlessly drifting for weeks, settles in mountains in Tomohiko Amada’s (a famous painter) house as a caretaker. In a pursuit of re-inventing himself, he wants to quit commercial portrait painting and want to explore something new in paintings. He settles in a solo life where he has a married girlfriend to give him company and painting classes on weekends. But things change when he stumbles upon a mysterious painting – Killing Commendatore. Discovery of this painting leads to many mysterious and bizarre events and this is where the plot becomes more complicated where everything revolves around this painting.As I am still new to Murakami world, I was desperately trying to get into a full-fledged magical realism novel and this happened to be the quintessential Murakami for me.- A mysterious man with unusual name- A faceless man- Unusual Teenager- Cats (Vanished before any action) and Owl- Someone Vanishes- A bell ringing in the middle of the night- Historical flashbacks- Music, Food and Books- Dried up well/Dark pit- Secret Passageway- Unexpected Phonecall- Weird Sex, Dream SequencesHe talks (writes) in length on painting; various elements, feels and essence of portraits and painting in general. He also talks about Japanese vs western paintings. I loved the concept of Idea, its visual manifestation in the form of a little person and the fact that they travel without any constraint of time and place. Things and people disappear to reach other places in real and surreal world. It’s a roller coaster driving at breakneck speed between real and magical world. Starts with “normal” and turns more and more surreal as the plot progresses. Even protagonist wonders what’s real and what’s not!The writing is wonderful. You will be amazed how intricately different narratives have been woven. Murakami leaves a lot of dots to be connected with reader’s imagination. He doesn’t try to answer all questions and leaves it up to us how we interpret it. We might not know what’s happening still it feels good to devour his writing. Also, it’s kind of light as compared to his other work.All in all, this one is slightly easy Murakami with a Happy Ending. Yes a mellowed down, close looped, happy ENDING!

    It's Murakamingly Confusing
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in India on 25 October 2018*

The book makes an awesome reading. The moment it came, it became obvious who will be reading it, me or my wife. Of course, if your wife wants to read it first, you take the next best decision, you decide to become the first reader since your wife has completed the reading.Every few pages, my wife would tell me how the experience has been, what her expectations, and what she anticipates. Everything fell in line and she completed the reading with a single mind. The book makes a Murakamingly confusing reading.

    A masterpiece!
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in India on 26 September 2019*

If I have to pick one author who has never failed me as a reader it has to be Haruki Murakami.Killing Commendatore is the story of an artist who comes across a painting called "Killing Commendatore" painted by his friend's father. The protagonist sails through some life changing experiences after he stumbles upon the said painting. He comes across an "Idea" who talks, guides and liberates the strangled plus a "Metaphor" leads him to a mysterious world to fight his fears.The plot is mysterious yet comfortable, the calm narrative has some interesting mentions of timeless and classic cars, books, music, art and the aftermath of war on human life. To talk about the characters- this book has our un-named narrator, his estranged wife, a mysterious cum meticulous businessman, a beautiful thirteen year old girl and her gorgeous aunt, the narrator's supportive friend and his father who created the painting. They all make great contributions to make this book a great read.Murakami is extremely real with his characters, their temperament and his story is a masterpiece. Not once have I felt bored while reading this tome, every page got me craving for more!❤️
