The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is many things: the story of a marriage that
mysteriously collapses; a jeremiad against the superficiality of contemporary
politics; an investigation of painfully suppressed memories of war; a bildungsroman
about a compassionate young man's search for his own identity as well as
that of his nation. |

All of Murakami's storytelling genius -- combining elements of detective
fiction, deadpan humor, and metaphysical truth, and swiftly transforming
commonplace realism into surreal revelation -- is on full, seamless display.
And in turning his literary imagination loose on a broad social and political
canvas, he bares nothing less than the soul of a country steeped in the
violence of the 20th century. |
