Publisher Vintage - The City and its Uncertain Walls - Haruki Murakami
Description:
A Quest for Love and Truth in a World of Shadows
When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously disappears, his relentless search for her takes him to the edges of reality and imagination. Convinced her true self resides in an enigmatic, imaginary city, he accepts a job at a remote library full of secrets.
A Shadowless City and a Dream Library
Eventually, he reaches the walled city, a surreal place of horned beasts and whispering willow trees. There, he finds his beloved working in a dreamlike library – but she doesn’t remember their life together in the real world. As the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, he is forced to confront profound choices about love, memory, and identity.
A Multilayered Parable for Modern Times
Part love story, part fantastical journey, and part homage to books and the sanctuaries that hold them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls delves into the mysteries of the human heart. It is a lyrical exploration of our connections to each other, to stories, and to the fragile line between dreams and reality – a powerful parable for our uncertain times.
