内容简介

Japan's most highly regarded novelist now vaults into the first ranks of international fiction writers with this heroically imaginative novel, which is at once a detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets of World War II.

In a Tokyo suburb a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat.Soon he finds himself looking for his wife as well in a netherworld that lies beneath the placid surface of Tokyo.As these searches intersect, Okada encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists: a psychic prostitute; a malevolent yet mediagenic politician; a cheerfully morbid sixteen-year-old-girl; and an aging war veteran who has been permanently changed by the hideous things he witnessed during Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria.

Gripping, prophetic, suffused with comedy and menace, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a tour de force equal in scope to the masterpieces of Mishima and Pynchon.

From the Trade Paperback edition.

作者简介

村上春树(1949- ),日本小说家。曾在早稻田大学文学部戏剧科就读。1979年,他的第一部小说《听风之歌》问世后,即被搬上了银幕。随后,他的优秀作品《1973年的弹子球》、《寻羊冒险记》、《挪威的森林》等相继发表。他的创作不受传统拘束,构思新奇,行文潇洒自在,而又不流于庸俗浅薄。尤其是在刻画人的孤独无奈方面更有特色,他没有把这种情绪写成负的东西,而是通过内心的心智性操作使之升华为一种优雅的格调,一种乐在其中的境界,以此来为读者,尤其是生活在城市里的人们提供了一种生活模式或生命的体验。

我或许败北,或许迷失自己,或许哪里也抵达不了,或许我已经失去一切,任凭怎么挣扎也只能徒呼奈何,或许我只是徒然掬一把废墟灰烬,唯我一人蒙在鼓里,或许这里没有任何人把赌注下在我身上。"无所谓。"我以轻微然而果断的声音对那里的某个人说道,"有一点是明确的:至少我有值得等待有值得寻求的东西。"

我们如此目睹的光景,不过是现实世界极小极小一部分。我们习惯上认为这便是世界的世界,其实并不是的。真正的世界位于更深更暗的地方,大部分由水母这样的生物占领着,我们只是把这点给忘了。你不这样想?地球表面三分之二是海,我们肉眼所看见的仅仅是海面这层表皮,而表皮下面到底有什么,我们还基本不知道。”
