Beschreibung

<p><b>Murakami's surreal, mind-bending masterpiece: a sci-fi pastiche and a Utopian fantasy novel ingeniously woven together.</b><br><br>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, post-modern manifesto. All this rolled into one rip-roaring novel, <i>End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland</i> is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>'A remarkable writer...he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head' Jay McInerney<br><br>'His fantasies, with their easy reference to western pulp fiction and music, retain a beauty of the mind' <i>Guardian</i><br><br>WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR</b></p>
