Ruthless Wonderland and the End of the World

Description

Resuming the terrain of unreality and the subconscious that we found in the Chronicle of the bird that makes the world spin and After Dark, the novel is built from two parallel narrative lines that eventually end up converging. At one, we witness an information war between two societies in a strange and anachronistic Tokyo; in the other, we enter a dark and shadowy world in which the characters have no shadow, ni ment, no ability to dream. Desperate Wonderland and the End of the World is a tour de force that launched Murakami to international fame, and traces the path of a man's descent into the farce of the Kafkaian underworld, of compassion and independence, of slang and philosophy. the result: a wild fantasy, amazing and very seductive, along the lines of the funniest and most experimental novels of the most fashionable cult author of the moment.
