The City and Its Uncertain Walls
Written by Haruki Murakami and originally published in Japan, the English translation of The City and Its Uncertain Walls was released on November 19. The novel follows a protagonist returning to a mysterious walled city from his past in order to find his lost lover, where he grapples with the fragmented memories and the surreal boundaries of his own mind. As he navigates this enigmatic world, the narrative delves into universal questions about how we construct meaning in life and reconcile with the passage of time. Murakami’s signature blend of the fantasy and reality creates a haunting atmosphere that feels surreal yet personal.
