"Written during the pandemic, Murakami's The City and its Uncertain Walls is a tour de force about isolation. In this three-part novel that moves between parallel worlds, an unnamed male narrator falls in love. In the "real," urban world he meets a mysterious girl at a writing contest. Their friendship deepens as they exchange passionate letters where she fantasizes about a wondrous world beyond their own, one where they can abandon their shadowy selves. As the narrator is drawn into these imaginative stories, the otherworld becomes tantalizingly real to them. But when the girl suddenly vanishes, the boy must grapple with this loss. Meanwhile, an alternate version of the narrator and the girl also exists in the otherworld, where he works as a Dream Reader and interacts with an array of fantastical creatures. Soon, the narrator discovers that the boundaries between these worlds may be more fragile than he initially understood. The City and Its Uncertain Walls is an exhilarating, revelatory exploration of how love, longing and desire are strong enough to break down any barriers." -- Publisher.
