Murakami's 'Killing Commendatore' gets the balance between magic and realism right

The great Japanese writer grew famous writing about the melancholy of youth. Now he turns to middle age, with a simple tale of a painter that gets almost, but not quite, hijacked by crazy incursions of odd characters and strange beings. In the end, the novel gets the balance between the crazy and the realistic just right, serving up humble but persuasive lessons about the times of our lives.
