“ My wife is irretrievably lost. She can no longer visit visit your home
in any form.”
Just like the reason behind the dizzy spell was his subconscious, in a same manner Tengo figure out that he was the reason that his girlfriend got lost. Whatever he was writing in his book started happening in his life. At one point he thought:
“ Does this mean that my life has been nothing but a process through
which I am giving concrete form to the dormant images?”
Was it Tengo’s book, his subconscious, just the woods, or was Tengo just a medium through which everything was happening? I think only Murakami can answer this question.
