Product Description

*PRE-ORDER HARUKI MURAKAMI’S NEW NOVEL, THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS, NOW*

Tales of upheaval and confusion, longing and love in the aftermath of the Kobe earthquake.


For the characters in after the quake, the Kobe earthquake is an echo from a past they buried long ago. Satsuki has spent thirty years hating one man: did her desire for revenge cause the earthquake? Miyake left his family in Kobe to make midnight bonfires on a beach hundreds of miles away.

Fourteen-year-old Sala has nightmares that the Earthquake Man is trying to stuff her inside a little box. Katagiri returns home to find a giant frog in his apartment on a mission to save Tokyo from a massive burrowing worm. ''When he gets angry, he causes earthquakes,'' says Frog. ''And right now he is very, very angry.

''In a dance with the delights of Murakami''s imagination we experience the limitless possibilities of fiction. With these stories Murakami expands our hearts and minds yet again'' The Times
