if Murakami had a take on โ€˜Great Expectations,โ€™ mixed it with fairytale magic, and sprinkled โ€˜fucksโ€™ all over it โ€” what a joy.

โ€œThat heart, ground to ash and shot through with darts of heat, salt, spice, and sulphorous syrup . . . you are phenomenal. Youโ€™ve ruined my life forever. Thank you.โ€
