Welcome to the “Chronicle of wind-up bird†book-club discuss thread.
To avoid “where to start†I prepared some questions. Feel free to share to answer any of them or just share your free thoughts and discuss about what you found the most interesting in novel.
1) Did you like the book? Why/why not?
2)What do you think about main character Toru Okada? How would you describe the traits you consider to be most important/ dominate in his personality
3) What are your reflections on May Kasahara? Why did she leave Toru in the well?
4) What signified the cat- its disappearing and return? Why was it named after Noboru Wataya (if there was another reason than its stare)
5) Why Kumiko left Toru?
6) How do you understand the meaning of title wind-up bird?
7) What was the meaning of the scar on the face?
8) What are your reflections on Malta and Kreta Kano?
9) What are your reflections of Cinnamon and Nutmeg? Why Cinnamon lost his voice?
10)The novel consist descriptions of the people suffering from strong pain and suffering from apathy. Which do you consider worse?
11) What was the purpose of war stories in novel ? Why did Honda wanted his old comrade Mamiya to meet with Toru?
12) Do you consider us to exist for particular significant moment(s) (moments of lightness)?
13) What do you think was that inside the women that Nutmeg and Toru were able to move? Why wasn’t similar condition affecting men?
14) In one of her speeches May says that evanescence is a reason people wonder; that our lives would be much different if we live forever. Do you agree with this? (in novel we have also an example of Mamiya who didn’t live forever , but couldn’t die when he was meant to)
15) What is significance of the musician? The show with the candle and fight Toru had with him another time they've met.
16) Do you have a feeling that some of novel puzzles weren’t solve? Which ones?
