À propos de cet audio

"Truth is not found in fixed stillness, but in ceaseless change/movement. Isn't this the quintessential core of what stories are all about?"—Haruki Murakami, from the afterword to The City and Its Uncertain Walls

The long-awaited new novel from Haruki Murakami, his first in six years, revisits a Town his listeners will remember, a place where a Dream Reader reviews dreams and where our shadows become untethered from our selves. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for these strange post-pandemic times, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a singular and towering achievement by one of modern literature’s most important writers.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"An elegant fable that deftly weaves ordinary reality. . . . with a shadow world that is at once eerie and beautiful. Astonishing, puzzling and hallucinatory as only Murakami can be, and one of his most satisfying tales."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Editorial Review

A love letter to creation and creativity, 40 years in the making
There’s no arguing that Haruki Murakami is one of the most brilliant creative minds and writers of the 21st century. And for fans, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is not only long-awaited, but also fits beautifully into his literary legacy—expanding on a 40-year-old short story of the same name, and acting as a companion to Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. While the motifs, moments, and world all feel familiar, The City and Its Uncertain Walls still stands wholly on its own. As always, it’s impossible not to get lost in Murakami’s creation or narrator Brian Nishii’s performance. It’s not just a love letter to magical realism, creativity, and writing, but also reflects the author’s own experience with his craft—as a labor of love that was 40 years in the making, and was most definitely worth the wait. — Michael C., Audible Editor

can't get enough of his world. his reality is where I want to live, a beautiful intersection of reality and imagination. isn't that what human being is all about?

Murakami at his finest

I have read most of Haruku Murakami's books. What I love about them is the unexpected turns and surprises in the ideas that he usually puts forward. This book is a re-write, and it feels like it. The author himself might have been interested in telling this story, but the reader has heard it before so the surprises are old news.

long-winded and boring
