Read this imaginative masterpiece from the internationally
bestselling author of Norwegian Wood The year is 1984. Aomame sits
in a taxi on the expressway in Tokyo. Her work is not the kind
which can be discussed in public but she is in a hurry to carry out
an assignment and, with the traffic at a stand-still, the driver
proposes a solution. She agrees, but as a result of her actions
starts to feel increasingly detached from the real world. She has
been on a top-secret mission, and her next job will lead her to
encounter the apparently superhuman founder of a religious cult.
Meanwhile, Tengo wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently
becomes involved in a strange affair surrounding a literary prize
to which a mysterious seventeen-year-old girl has submitted her
remarkable first novel. It seems to be based on her own experiences
and moves readers in unusual ways. Can her story really be true?
Both Aomame and Tengo notice that the world has grown strange; both
realise that they are indispensable to each other. While their
stories influence one another, at times by accident and at times
intentionally, the two come closer and closer to intertwining. 'It
is a work of maddening brilliance and gripping originality,
deceptively casual in style, but vibrating with wit, intellect and
ambition' The Times
