![]() Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. ![]() Murakami gives little to no closure at the end of the novel, which leaves endless room for interpretation. This includes the ending of the novel, especially. Within many parts of the novel, Murakami leaves the reader trying to interpret what is really going on. Japan' s most widely-read and controversial writer, author of A Wild Sheep Chase, hurtles into the consciousness of the West with this narrative about a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters-not to mention Bob Dylan and Lauren Bacall. Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is a story unlike any other. What emerges is a novel that is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind. Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. ![]() Hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is Haruki Murakami's deep dive into the very nature of consciousness. ![]()
