Uncorrected proof of the first edition. Octavo, original wrappers. In fine condition. Translated by Alfred Birnbaum.
Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is a novel that is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind. “Rich in action, suspense, odd characters and unexpected trifles . . . [a] provocative work" (The Atlantic).
