Synopsis:
With three novels and one short-story collection now translated into English, Haruki Murakami has emerged as the most significant Japanese novelist in decades. And with this hugely ambitious new book--a true magnum opus, equal in scope and execution to Yukio Mishima's posthumous tetralogy, THE SEA OF FERTILITY--he will take his place in the international pantheon of contemporary literature.THE WIND-UP BIRD CHRONICLE is many things: the story of a marriage that mysteriously collapses; a jeremiad against the superficiality of contemporary politics; an investigation of painfully suppressed memories of war; a bildungsroman about a compassionate young man's search for his own identity as well as that of his nation. All of Murakami's storytelling genius--combining elements of detective fiction, deadpan humor, and metaphysical truth, and swiftly transforming commonplace realism into surreal revelation--is on full, seamless display. And in turning his literary imagination loose on a broad social and political canvas, he bares nothing less than the soul of a country steeped in the violence of the twentieth century.Deceptively simple, wise, poignant, funny, and horrifying, THE WIND-UP BIRD CHRONICLE is a mesmerizing saga of personal conscience and the power of history: a stunning achievement whose impact will be felt worldwide.
Review:
"Not merely a big book from the broadly respected Murakami, but a major work....It will be hard to surpass."
Kirkus, 09/15/1997
Review:"Whether his target is Japan or the world, Mr. Murakami's work sums up a bad century and envisions an uncertain future....The novel is a deliberately confusing, illogical image of a confusing, illogical world. It is not easy reading, but it is never less than absorbing."
Phoebe-Lou Adams, Atlantic Monthly, November 1997
