For nearly half a century Murakami has been delighting readers with his deceptively simple writing. His work is both fantastic and realistic, as gripping as it is beguiling. This boxset contains three of the best novels from Japan?s greatest living novelist. You might start with Norwegian Wood, a story of young love and the book that shot Murakami to literary stardom. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle displays many of Murakami?s distinctive storytelling tropes ? mysterious women and missing cats among them. And Kafka on the Shore, the great masterpiece, is the genre-bending tale of a fifteen-year-old runaway.
