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.

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##这本不太好评价,没有Dance Dance Dance和Kafka on the Shore节制,同样的题材村上的短篇要更好,应该出个修订版。不过也许是读太多了……
评分##同1Q84一樣都為三部曲的這一本,讀來依舊給人被救贖的感覺。而被救贖的原因,是由於書中的人們既不悲傷也不快樂,既無所求又心有牽絆。
评分##Really good, well written plot. Love how randomly it can change.
