WIND UP BIRD CHRONICLE (VINTAGE JAPANESE ED) (PB)

Toru Okada's cat has disappeared. His wife is growing more distant every day. And he has been receiving increasingly explicit telephone calls. The tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turning inside out. He embarks on a bizarre journey, guided by a succession of characters, each with their own tale to tell.
