Title: End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland: A New Translation Author: Haruki Murakami ISBN: 9780593320020 Publisher: Everyman's Library Published: 2024 Binding: Hardcover Language: English Condition: New New from the publisher Fiction 1620506 Publisher Description: Hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is Haruki Murakami's deep dive into the very nature of consciousness. Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is a novel that is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind.
