Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami review
Music and painting. These two elements are the center of this novel divided into two parts and published in Mexico by Tusquets Editores. In his few more than 480 pages per book, Haruki Murakami, presents us the difficulty of deciphering reality. The protagonist Tomohiko is a portraitist who will go through a labyrinth with episodes of the Second World War, theories about a painting of the owner of the house in the mountains, a famous painter in his last days of life, a strange hole in the ground inside the forest, and a family history with many loose ends. Everything makes sense in the last chapters, returning to the novel a suburb of emotions and surprises in strange worlds from a painting that recalls Mozart's opera Don Giovanni. We read soon...
