The long-awaited new novel from Haruki Murakami, his first in six years, revisits a town his readers will remember, a place where a dream reader reviews dreams and where our shadows become untethered from our selves.
A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for these strange post-pandemic times, The city and its uncertain walls is a singular and towering achievement by one of modern literature’s most important writers.
