Quirky and utterly captivating, A Wild Sheep Chase is Murakami at his astounding best.



An advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend and casually appropriates the image for an advertisement. What he doesn't realize is that included in the 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 who offers a menacing ultimatum: Find the sheep or face dire consequences.



Thus begins a surreal and elaborate quest that takes listeners from Tokyo to the remote and snowy mountains of Northern Japan, where the unnamed protagonist has a surprising confrontation with his demons.

Critic Reviews



"Murakami is a mythmaker for the millennium, a wiseacre wiseman." ( New York Times Book Review)



"Marvelously engaging, at turns witty, dry, wicked, even loopy. Reading A Wild Sheep Chase is like spending a splendidly foul weekend with the Four Raymonds - Chandler, Carver, Massey, and Queneau." (Frederick Barthelme)
