“A stunning work of art … that bears no comparisons.” —New York Observer

“With The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Murakami spreads his brilliant, fantastical wings and soars.” —Philadelphia Inquirer

“An epic … as sculpted and implacable as a bird by Brancusi.” —New York Magazine

“Mesmerizing, original … fascinating, daring, mysterious and profoundly rewarding.” —Baltimore Sun
