The City and Its Uncertain Walls — Haruki Murakami, Penguin Random House (Knopf), November 19th, 2024

Haruki Murakami has built us a world within a world of love and dreams, libraries and shadows, of portal-like rivers and fire-lit rooms. Following a teenaged boy into his middle age, The City and Its Uncertain Walls unveils a young romance that has frozen his heart in place and time, fragmenting his personhood. Clearer and clearer, we can see the invisible forces that push us through the labyrinth of how a soul moves on and through, despite it all. While bridging the realms of the seen and the spirit, Murakami, as always, is masterfully grounded and real.
