Reviews
"Murakami is a mythmaker for the millennium, a wiseacre wiseman." New York Times Book Review "A delight . . . equal parts screwball comedy, detective story, and heroic quest." USA Today "A witty adventure . . . a piece of verbal anarchy . . . a labyrinthine mystery from start to finish." San Francisco Chronicle "Marvelously engaging, at turns witty, dry, wicked, even loopy. Reading A Wild Sheep Chase is like spending a splendidly foul weekend with the Four RaymondsChandler, Carver, Massey, and Queneau."Frederick Barthelme

Synopsis
Murakami has crafted a taut and suspenseful novel that is equal parts detective story, fantasy, and Kafkaesque allegory. In a Japan of the imgination, an advertising executive is sent on a harrowing journey in puruit of a mythical sheep reported to embody an irresistible will to absolute power., A marvelous hybrid of mythology and mystery, A Wild Sheep Chase is the extraordinary literary thriller that launched Haruki Murakami's international reputation. It begins simply enough: A twenty-something advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company's advertisement. What he doesn't realize is that included in the pastoral scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man in black who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences. Thus begins a surreal and elaborate quest that takes our hero from the urban haunts of Tokyo to the remote and snowy mountains of northern Japan, where he confronts not only the mythological sheep, but the confines of tradition and the demons deep within himself. Quirky and utterly captivating, A Wild Sheep Chase is Murakami at his astounding best.
