End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland
Release date: November 22, 2024
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, The End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami’s international following.
Tracking one man’s descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.
This edition is a newly unabridged translation from long-time Murakami collaborator, Jay Rubin.
‘A remarkable writer…he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head’ Jay McInerney
