Sobre o livro
The breathtaking new novel about the boundaries between worlds and individuals, from the internationally bestselling author of 1Q84.
"Truth is not found in fixed stillness, but in ceaseless change/movement. Isn't this the quintessential core of what stories are all about?" - Haruki Murakami, from the afterword to The City and Its Uncertain Walls
The long-awaited new novel from Haruki Murakami, his first in six years, revisits a Town his readers will remember, a place where a Dream Reader reviews dreams and where our shadows become untethered from our selves.
When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own.
When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose.
A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.
Críticas
It’s safe to say that there’s no one like Murakami.
Literary Review
No other author mixes domestic, fantastic and esoteric elements into such weirdly bewitching shades. Financial Times
Murakami is a master storyteller and he knows how to keep us hooked Sunday Times
Beguilingly enigmatic...Murakami blends science fiction, gothic novel, noir mystery, horror, and coming-of-age story... deftly weaves ordinary reality—“something you have to choose by yourself, out of several possible alternatives”—with a shadow world that is at once eerie and beautiful. Astonishing, puzzling, and hallucinatory as only Murakami can be, and one of his most satisfying tales. Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
Regular readers will delight in the Easter eggs nested in an unsettling quest spun from Murakami’s long-patented dream logic. Observer
