Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 1Q84 and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle comes a relentlessly inventive novel that dives deep into the very nature of consciousness.

“Fantastical, mysterious, and funny . . . a fantasy world that might have been penned by Franz Kafka.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is a hyperkinetic novel that is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind.

    Murakami is an amazing author and this is one of my favorites from him. His ability to blend relatable human emotion and vulnerability with surreal backgrounds is pure genius. My friend recommended Wind Up Bird Chronicles to me and I loved it. I devoured Murakami's whole library within 3 months. Highly recommended.....not enough superlatives to describe......
