Description
A Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Financial Times, Library Journal, LitHub, and
Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the YearThe epic new novel from the internationally
acclaimed and best-selling author of 1Q84In Killing Commendatore, a 30-something portrait
painter in Tokyo is abandoned by his wife and finds himself holed up in the mountain home of a
famous artist, Tomohiko Amada. When he discovers a previously unseen painting in the attic, he
unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances. To close it, he must complete a
journey that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a two-foot-high physical manifestation of an Idea, a
dapper businessman who lives across the valley, a precocious 13-year-old girl, a Nazi
assassination attempt during World War II in Vienna, a pit in the woods behind the artist’s home,
and an underworld haunted by Double Metaphors. A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and
art - as well as a loving homage to The Great Gatsby - Killing Commendatore is a stunning work of
imagination from one of our greatest writers.“A spellbinding parable of art, history, and human
loneliness.” (O, The Oprah Magazine)“Expansive and intricate...touches on many of the themes
familiar in Mr. Murakami’s novels: the mystery of romantic love, the weight of history, the
transcendence of art, the search for elusive things just outside our grasp.” (The New York
Times)“Eccentric and intriguing, Killing Commendatore is the product of a singular imagination....
Murakami is a wiz at melding the mundane with the surreal.... He has a way of imbuing the
supernatural with uncommon urgency. His placid narrative voice belies the utter strangeness of his
plot.... The worldview of Murakami’s novels is consistent, and it’s invigorating. In this book and
many that came before it, he urges us to embrace the unusual, accept the unpredictable." (San
Francisco Chronicle)“Exhilarating.... Only in the calm madness of his magical realism can
Murakami truly capture one of his obsessions, the usually ineffable yearning that drives a person
to make art.” (The Washington Post)
