Review Quote | "Dreamlike and compelling…. Murakami is a genius." –Chicago Tribune "A significant advance in Murakami's art … a bold and generous book." –The New York Times Book Review "A stunning work of art … that bears no comparisons." –New York Observer "With The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Murakami spreads his brilliant, fantastical wings and soars." –Philadelphia Inquirer "Seductive…. A labyrinth designed by a master, at once familiar and irresistibly strange." –San Francisco Chronicle "An epic … as sculpted and implacable as a bird by Brancusi." –New York Magazine "Mesmerizing, original … fascinating, daring, mysterious and profoundly rewarding." –Baltimore Sun "A beguiling sense of mystery suffuses The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and draws us irresistibly and ever deeper into the phantasmagoria of pain and memory…. Compelling [and] convincing." –Los Angeles Times Book Review "Digs relentlessly into the buried secrets of Japan's past … brilliantly translated into the latest vernacular." –Pico Iyer, Time |
Back Cover Copy | Japan's most highly regarded novelist now vaults into the first ranks of international fiction writers with this heroically imaginative novel, which is at once a detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets of World War II. |
