Book description
The long-awaited new novel from Haruki Murakami, his first in six years, revisits a Town his readers will remember, a place where a Dream Reader reviews dreams and where our shadows become untethered from our selves. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for these strange post-pandemic times, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a singular and towering achievement by one of modern literature's most important writers.Review"Mysterious, illusive… there is something about the way [Murakami] writes that is so captivating.” —Rumaan Alam, The Today Show "Haruki Murakami invented 21st-century fiction." —The New York Times "More than any author since Kafka, Murakami appreciates the genuine strangeness of our real world." —San Francisco Chronicle "Murakami is masterful." —Los Angeles Times About the AuthorHaruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo. His work has been translated into more than fifty languages, and one of the most recent of his many international honors is the Cino Del Duca World Prize, whose previous recipients include Jorge Luis Borges, Ismail Kadare, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Joyce Carol Oates.
