The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel (Vintage International)

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a tour de force€"and one of Haruki Murakami€s most acclaimed and beloved novels.

In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife€s missing cat€"and then for his wife as well€"in a netherworld beneath the city€s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japan€s forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.
