Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art—from one of our greatest writers. • “Exhilarating ... magical.” —The Washington Post

When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he secludes himself in the mountain home of a world famous artist. One day, the young painter hears a noise from the attic, and upon investigation, he discovers a previously unseen painting. By unearthing this hidden work of art, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances; and to close it, he must undertake a perilous journey into a netherworld that only Haruki Murakami could conjure.

Reviews

  • Interesting but seemingly a re-hash

    2
    By Cardinal bill
    I enjoy Murakami, having read all of his fiction. And I think that’s the problem I have with this one—you can glean artifacts of his prior books. I had flashbacks to several prior works while reading this, particularly the underground travels (“Hardboiled...”), the pit (“Wind-Up...”) and even Amada’s nursing home view of the ocean (was it “Kafka...”?). And is this the first time that the ending is a nice, neat tie-up of all the plot lines? Almost like this one got mailed in.

  • How to become an idea

    5
    By Oz Dave
    I just adore Murakami’s ability to trap the reader within the story and then the feeling of being an observer of the events. Yet again his prose creates visualisations so that I become, perhaps, an Idea. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommended, even more so if you are a Murakami fan.
