A marvelous hybrid of mythology and mystery, A Wild Sheep Chase is the extraordinary literary thriller that launched Haruki Murakami’s international reputation.
It begins simply enough: A twenty-something advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company’s advertisement. What he doesn’t realize is that included in the pastoral scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man in black who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences. Thus begins a surreal and elaborate quest that takes our hero from the urban haunts of Tokyo to the remote and snowy mountains of northern Japan, where he confronts not only the mythological sheep, but the confines of tradition and the demons deep within himself. Quirky and utterly captivating, A Wild Sheep Chase is Murakami at his astounding best.

村上故事里常出现的元素仍然还在，比如爱吃（及烹调）意大利面、听爵士乐的男主，目的性不明、来历不清的幕后大黑手。当然，也必须承认在这么让人看着似曾相识的元素下，这仍然是个吸引人一直读下去的故事。现在比较好奇的是村上多部作品里的大魔头表达了作者哪种政治倾向，暗示了什么权力集团。

Whatever he's trying to say, I only vaguely got it...
