A wild sheep chase

£20.00

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

A beautifully packaged hardback edition of Haruki Murakami’s brilliantly surreal, detective-story classic, now with a new introduction by the author.

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.

‘Murakami’s style and imagination are closer to that of Kurt Vonnegut, Raymond Carver and John Irving’ New York Times
