Dark, dry and downright weird but also incredibly funny, ‘A Wild Sheep Chase’ is the story of a man, a girl, her ears and a very special sheep. But this is no lost sheep, the sheep went of its own accord. It may or may not be running the world!

Description

Haruki Murakami’s third novel, A Wild Sheep Chase is the mystery hybrid which completes the odyssey begun in Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973.

The man was leading an aimless life, time passing, one big blank.

His girlfriend has perfectly formed ears, ears with the power to bewitch, marvels of creation. The man receives a letter from a friend, enclosing a seemingly innocent photograph of sheep, and a request: place the photograph somewhere it will be seen. Then, one September afternoon, the phone rings, and the adventure begins. Welcome to the wild sheep chase.

‘A science fiction fantasy, a romance, a metaphysical tease, or a dramatisation of philosophical ideas’ Independent

‘A highly accomplished piece of craftsmanship’ New Yorker
