About this book

<b>*PRE-ORDER HARUKI MURAKAMI'S NEW NOVEL, <i>THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS</i>, NOW*</b><br> <br> A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel, <i>Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World</i> is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following.<br> <br> Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.
