About This Book

In 1984 Tokyo, two parallel storylines—a female assassin and a male ghostwriter—converge in a world that quietly diverges from the one they know. Haruki Murakami's epic, three-volume novel blends magical realism, Orwellian reference, and the author's signature obsessions into a vast, mesmerizing whole.
