"Haruki Murakami invented 21st-century fiction." --The New York Times * "More than any author since Kafka, Murakami appreciates the genuine strangeness of our real world." --San Francisco Chronicle * "Murakami is masterful." --Los Angeles Times When a young man's girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he is heartbroken - and determined to find the imaginary town where he suspects she has taken up residence.
