Murakami shares with Alfred Hitchcock a fascination for ordinary people being suddenly plucked by extraordinary circumstances from their daily lives
Sunday Telegraph
Not just an impressive essay in witness literature, but also a unique sounding of the quotidian Japanese mind
Independent
A scrupulous and unhistrionic look into the heart of the horror
Scotsman
The testimonies he assembles are striking. From the very beginning Underground is impossibly moving and unexpectedly engrossing
Time Out
There is no artifice or pretension in Underground. There is no need for cleverness. What Murakami describes happens to ordinary people in a frighteningly ordinary way. And it is all the more bizarre for that
