Description
Haruki Murakami's long, elaborately constructed novel—following a portrait painter who retreats to a mountain house after his marriage breaks down and finds himself drawn into a mystery involving a buried painting, a dangerous millionaire, and something genuinely supernatural—is Murakami working at his most ambitiously conceptual and his most committed to the intersection of art, beauty, and the uncanny. Written with his characteristic atmosphere and his absolute confidence in his own imaginative world, this is essential reading for every devoted Murakami reader. An essential novel.
