A Wild Sheep Chase
Author: Haruki Murakami
His life was like his recurring nightmare: a train to nowhere. But an ordinary life has a way of taking an extraordinary turn. Add a girl whose ears are so exquisite that, when uncovered, they improve sex a thousand-fold, a runaway friend, a right-wing politico, an ovine-obesessed professor and a manic depressive in a sheep outfit, implicate them in a hunt for a sheep that may or may not be running the world, and the upshot is another singular masterpiece from Japan’s finest novelist.
