Cuando nos rodean los muros, la aventura de toda una vida quizá consista en franquearlos. El regreso de Murakami a la novela después de La muerte del comendador. «Atención: Murakami ―igual que los Beatles― provoca adicción.» Rodrigo Fresán, El País «Murakami merece el Nobel.» Rafael Narbona, El Cultural (El Mundo) «Murakami es el mejor escritor vivo.» Pablo d’Ors, Abc Cultural «Leer a Murakami es una experiencia transformadora, es adentrarse en un bosque, bajar a un pozo, pasear por un sueño.» Antonio Lozano, La Vanguardia «Murakami es un grande.» Carlos Zanón, El País Poco se imagina el joven protagonista de esta novela que la chica de la que se ha enamorado está a punto de desaparecer de su vida. Se han conocido durante un concurso entre estudiantes de diferentes institutos, y no pueden verse muy a menudo. En sus encuentros, sentados bajo la glicinia de un parque o paseando a orillas de un río, la joven empieza a hablarle de una extraña ciudad amurallada, situada, al parecer, en otro mundo; poco a poco, ella acaba confesándole su inquietante sensación de que su verdadero yo se halla en esa misteriosa ciudad. De pronto, entrado el otoño, el protagonista recibe una carta de ella que quizá suponga una despedida, y eso lo sume en una profunda tristeza. Tendrán que pasar años antes de que pueda atisbar alguna posibilidad de reencontrarla. Y sin embargo, esa ciudad, tal y como ella la describió, existe. Porque todo es posible en este asombroso universo donde la realidad, la identidad, los sueños y las sombras fluctúan y escapan a los rígidos límites de la lógica. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Truth is not found in fixed stillness, but in ceaseless change/movement. Isn't this the quintessential core of what stories are all about?” ―Haruki Murakami, from the afterword to The City and Its Uncertain Walls 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.
