The city and its uncertain walls / Haruki Murakami ; translated from the Japanese by Philip Gabriel.
"The long-awaited new novel from Haruki Murakami, his first in six years, revisits a town his readers 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"-- Provided by publisher.
