I reread South of the Border (West of the Sun) recently. It is the third shorter novel by Haruki Murakami I’m adding to my data illustration series.

The illustration shows Hajime, alone, in a new reality south of the border. The color, Helvetia blue, is inspired by the color Shimamoto likes to wear.

With this addition, the series now includes:

  • The city and its uncertain walls
  • 1Q84
  • Kafka on the shore
  • The wind-up bird chronicle
  • Killing Commendatore
  • The colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his years of pilgrimage
  • Hard-Boiled wonderland and the end of the world
  • South of the Border
