When a drifting man's mundane existence collides with a search for a legendary sheep, his world spirals into absurdity populated by unforgettable characters—a woman with mysteriously beautiful ears, an estranged friend, a volatile academic, and a manic-depressive in an oversized costume. Murakami weaves together the surreal and the intimate in this darkly comic quest that questions whether reality itself might be hiding beneath the surface of an ordinary life. A masterwork of inventive storytelling that captures the surreal nature of modern existence.
