The wind-up bird chronicle / Haruki Murakami ; translated from the Japanese by Jay Rubin.

Murakami, Haruki, 1949- (Author). Rubin, Jay, 1941- (Added Author).

Summary:

"Toru Okada's cat has disappeared and this has unsettled his wife, who is herself growing more distant every day. Then there are the increasingly explicit telephone calls he has started receiving. As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell." --back cover.
