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.
In a Tokyo suburb a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat.Soon he finds himself looking for his wife as well in a netherworld that lies beneath the placid surface of Tokyo.As these searches intersect, Okada encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists: a psychic prostitute; a malevolent yet mediagenic politician; a cheerfully morbid sixteen-year-old-girl; and an aging war veteran who has been permanently changed by the hideous things he witnessed during Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria.
Gripping, prophetic, suffused with comedy and menace, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a tour de force equal in scope to the masterpieces of Mishima and Pynchon.
##As always the main character Okada is plain, non-socialable and self-occupied but strangely attractive with great strength lying within.

评分##The light that could only be glimpsed and experienced under the well. Imagine the warmth and the intensity against total darkness. I want to find a well to visit. To go down there and listen to the dark, maybe it could reveal to me, something other than darkness. I desire the courage to stay silent, but yet, communicates everything precisely.

评分##2017.4.26-7.2. 是我最近一年以来最好的英文小说阅读体验!彻底改变了我以前对于村上春树的偏见。虽然我觉得有点头重脚轻,但是总体节奏还是很好。想象又危险又美妙。好喜欢Okada桑的人物设定,我也想找一口最深的井沉下去。
