Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel, Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World<\/em> is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami’s international following.

After Dark<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The midnight hour approaches in an almost-empty diner. Mari sips her coffee and reads a book, but soon her solitude is disturbed: a girl has been beaten up at the Alphaville hotel, and needs Mari’s help. Meanwhile Mari’s beautiful sister Eri lies in a deep, heavy sleep that is ‘too perfect, too pure’ to be normal; it has lasted for two months.

A Wild Sheep Chase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It begins simply enough: A twenty-something advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company\u2019s advertisement. What he doesn\u2019t realise is that included in the pastoral scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back.

Underground<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In spite of the perpetrators’ intentions, the Tokyo gas attack left only twelve people dead, but thousands were injured and many suffered serious after-effects. Murakami interviews the victims to try and establish precisely what happened on the subway that day.

Sputnik Sweetheart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada’s vague and blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided (however obscurely) by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell.

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tsukuru Tazaki had four best friends at school. By chance all of their names contained a colour. The two boys were called Akamatsu, meaning \u2018red pine\u2019, and Oumi, \u2018blue sea\u2019, while the girls\u2019 names were Shirane, \u2018white root\u2019, and Kurono, \u2018black field\u2019. Tazaki was the only last name with no colour in it.

The man was leading an aimless life, time passing, one big blank. His girlfriend has perfectly formed ears, ears with the power to bewitch, marvels of creation.
