About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The breathtaking new novel about the boundaries between worlds and individuals, from the internationally bestselling author of 1Q84.
When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own.
When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose.
A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.

Such. A. Good.Novel.
Been waiting for this ever since reading Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. If you haven't read/listened to that, do so, then get into this one. Or vice versa. There's so much to The Town - take a couple of trips there and see what you can find. Very cozy and atmospheric. Simultaneously down to earth and nuts. Gotta love our man Murakami. Also, Brian Nishii, bigupyaself for another highly enjoyable narration 👊
