Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

A "dreamlike and compelling tour de force (Chicago Tribune) an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japan s forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.

Now with a new introduction by the author.

In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife s missing cat and then for his wife as well in a netherworld beneath the city s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is one of Haruki Murakami s most acclaimed and beloved novels.
