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.
##Really good, well written plot. Love how randomly it can change.
評分##a big fat book to read
評分##不錯
評分##2017.4.26-7.2. 是我最近一年以來最好的英文小說閱讀體驗!徹底改變瞭我以前對於村上春樹的偏見。雖然我覺得有點頭重腳輕,但是總體節奏還是很好。想象又危險又美妙。好喜歡Okada桑的人物設定,我也想找一口最深的井沉下去。
