"Japans ranghöchster Romancier heute ist Haruki Murakami - ein Mythenschöpfer für die Jahrtausendwende, ein hinterlistiger Weiser." (Publishers Weekly)
Toru Okada, ein unzufriedener Mann von 30 Jahren, gerade ohne Arbeit, von seiner tüchtigen Frau zur Selbsterforschung ermutigt, ist Held des Romans, eines Romans über die verschüttete Seele des globalisierten Menschen, der zwar fliegen kann, aber nur wie ein Spielzeugvogel, den irgend jemand aufgezogen hat.
A mesmerising, surreal novel - Murakami's most celebrated and influential masterpiece
_PRE-ORDER HARUKI MURAKAMI'S NEW NOVEL, THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS, NOW_
Toru Okada's cat has disappeared.
His wife is growing more distant every day.
Then there are the increasingly explicit telephone calls he has recently been receiving.
As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided (however obscurely) by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell.
'Visionary...a bold and generous book' New York Times
'Murakami weaves textured layers of reality into a shot-silk garment of deceptive beauty' Independent on Sunday
'Deeply philosophical and teasingly perplexing, it is impossible to put down' Daily Telegraph
'Mesmerising, surreal, this really is the work of a true original' The Times
Rezension:
Murakami writes of contemporary Japan, urban alienation and journeys of self-discovery, and in this book he combines recollections of the war with metaphysics, dreams and hallucinations into a powerful and impressionistic work Independent
