Murakami, Haruki: "Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World"

The following excerpt begins on page 342. "They were playing a Bruckner symphony. I couldn't tell which number, but who can? I ordered a draft and some oysters on the half shell. I squeezed lemon over the oysters and ate them in clockwise order, the Bruckner romantic in the background. The giant wall clock read five before three, the dial supporting two lions which spun around the mainspring. Bruckner came to an end, and the music shifted into Ravel's Bolero."
