Haruki Murakami belongs to that small band of novelists able to confront the full complexity of twentieth-century life and the violence that nestles at its heart, and to make something out of it that is both original and compelling. Combining elements of the detective story, war reportage, metaphysical investigation, and shot through with quirky humour, "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" is a necessary epic for our times.' (Quote taken from the front flap) ***'A giant, metaphysical detective story about love, pain, war, reality and history --- magnificent --- Murakami flouts so many conventions that he forces you to change your expectations.' - Jeff Giles, Newsweek (Review quote taken from back cover) ***First impression of the first UK edition, published as a paperback original. A monolithic 600 page paperback, quite hard to find now in first edition, and very prone to bumps and creasing, so hard to find now in collectable condition. A very good copy. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
