But how does it compare to Mememurakami?

I haven't read any murakami except for south of the border west of the sun.
The form of this novel might be jarring in that each sentence to few sentences is a paragraph like a japanese airport novel. The prose is pretty good for an english translation from japanese. I found the plot and characters to be done well too
Sounds good. I'll check it out.

"A fish. Dobaded. Its eyeball sliced down the middle. Sections quivering. Images reflected on the split lens are stained with blood. Dobaded. The city of people mirrored there is dyed madder red. Reversal of pressure, dobaded, and there you go! it's taking you there..."
