The City and its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami [Hardcover]

A love story, a quest, an ode to books and the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.

STEP INTO THE CITY. .

When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search leads him to take a job in a remote library with its own mysteries.

When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose.

A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.
