Publisher's Summary
"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 listeners will remember, a place where a Dream Reader reviews dreams and where our shadows become untethered from our selves. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for these strange post-pandemic times, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a singular and towering achievement by one of modern literature’s most important writers.
What the critics say
"An elegant fable that deftly weaves ordinary reality. . . . 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)
