The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

'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 "It's a bizarre trip and I like it for the exact opposite reason that I like Belsky's book. That book is entirely practical in terms of life work strategies and this book is like a David Lynch film in a book." - Pam Fujimoto * Drum

" The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami is a breath of originality. Murakami is known for his unusual blend of the mundane and the fantastical, and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle epitomises this style. This book is my favourite because it really resonated with me, the way it links together seemingly unrelated ideas into a meaningful story is incredibly unique." - Senan Tuohy-Hamill University Observer
