You need to have read Hard Boiled Wonderland first, and ideally the more recent, unabridged translation. This is both a prequel and sequel to that one, which ended in a cliffhanger. I'm enjoying it for the fan service, though it is much slower paced and contemplative than the original. But like all things Murakami, well worth the effort!
