The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami


Haruki Murikami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Trans. Jay Rubin, South Africa : Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 1997.


In a tale that begins with young man Toru Okada searching for his wife's cat, he finds himself swept into Tokyo's underbelly searching for her as well. He encounters a bizarre cast of allies and adversaries, including a psychic sex worker, a distressed war veteran, a cheerfully pessimistic teen, and a conniving politician. This is a fast-paced, character driven, dark and surreal comedy.
