Murakami's most acclaimed novel in a highly covetable gift edition

Enter the surreal and enchanting world of Haruki Murakami

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. He embarks on a bizarre journey, guided by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell.

Part of the Vintage Classic Japanese series - five masterpieces of Japanese fiction in gorgeous new gift editions.

Industry Reviews

Deeply philosophical and teasingly perplexing, it is impossible to put down - Daily Telegraph

Visionary...a bold and generous book - New York Times

Critics have variously likened him to Raymond Carver, Raymond Chandler, Arthur C. Clarke, Don DeLillo, Philip K. Dick, Bret Easton Ellis and Thomas Pynchon - a roster so ill assorted as to suggest Murakami is in fact an original - New York Times

Murakami writes of contemporary Japan, urban alienation and journey's 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

Mesmerising, surreal, this really is the work of a true original - The Times
