Synopsis "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Vintage International)"

A "dreamlike and compelling" tour de force (Chicago Tribune)--an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II. In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat--and then for his wife as well--in a netherworld beneath the city's placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is one of Haruki Murakami's most acclaimed and beloved novels.

(Kioto, 1949) es uno de los pocos autores japoneses que han dado el salto de escritor de prestigio a autor con grandes ventas en todo el mundo. Ha recibido numerosos premios, entre ellos el Noma, el Tanizaki, el Yomiuri, el Franz Kafka, el Jerusalem Prize o el Hans Christian Andersen, y su nombre suena reiteradamente como candidato al Nobel de Literatura. En España, ha merecido el Premio Arcebispo Juan de San Clemente, la Orden de las Artes y las Letras, concedida por el Gobierno español, el Premi Internacional Catalunya 2011 y el Premio Princesa de Asturias de las Letras 2023. Además, es maratonista, triatleta, melómano, ama a los gatitos y disfruta mucho de la literatura norteamericana.
