Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World takes a tour through two parallel narratives, exploring consciousness, the subconscious and identity.A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim.This book is science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel.Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.*ORDER HARUKI MURAKAMI’S NEW NOVEL, THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS, NOW*

Mer om författaren

In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, First Person Singular and The City and Its Uncertain Walls Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.

His fantasies, with their easy reference to western pulp fiction and music, retain a beauty of the mind

  1. 5/5 Max A

    Jag kan bara förstöra boken genom att berätta mer. Den är helt enkelt bara så fantastiskt fint skriven från början till slut, Köp köp köp!

  2. 5/5 JG

    Detta var min första bok av Murakami men inte den sista. En av mina allra bästa läsupplevelser. Inledningen av boken kanske kan avskräcke vissa personer som vill förstå allt på en gång. Häng i är mitt råd. Ett fantastisk värld som känns som vår egen men ändå inte alls. Denna dualitet genomsyrar hela boken både direkt och indirekt. Fantasin, språket och tempot, allt bidrar till att göra en bok som jag trodde skulle bli tungrodd att vara en riktigt delikat mumsbit.
