A Wild Sheep Chase
by Haruki Murakami
In the wake of a friend's death and a sudden divorce, a world-weary advertising executive finds his listless Tokyo life spiraling into the surreal. What begins as a meditation on the faded idealism of the 1960s transforms into a high-stakes detective story involving a mysterious sheep with a star-shaped birthmark. Haruki Murakami blends elements of hard-boiled noir with metaphysical mystery to explore the quiet isolation of the modern age.
