The City and Its Uncertain Walls

A Novel (Vintage International)

13 minHaruki Murakami

What's it about

Have you ever been haunted by a love you can't forget, a place you can't escape? Uncover a world where dreams and reality blur, and a walled city holds the key to a long-lost love, forcing you to question everything you thought you knew about memory and self. You'll follow a narrator drawn back to a mysterious, dreamlike city he first imagined with his teenage love. Inside its high walls, he must become a "dream reader" to find her, confronting shadows, unicorns, and the uncertain walls of his own heart in a classic Murakami tale.

Meet the author

Haruki Murakami is the internationally bestselling author of more than a dozen novels, including Norwegian Wood and 1Q84, whose work has been translated into over fifty languages. A perennial contender for the Nobel Prize, his surreal and melancholic fiction explores themes of loss, memory, and identity. Originally running a small jazz bar in Tokyo, Murakami began writing unexpectedly at age 29, and his unique voice continues to captivate millions of readers worldwide with its blend of the mundane and the fantastic.
