'A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following. Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.'

My vote for best Murakami novel, though not as well known as his other books.

The book that made me fall in love with Murakami's imagination. Surreal encounters, a parallel dimension... Though the rest of his work never quite achieves the same harmonics, I continue to read him hoping for another visit to the end of the world.
