We will be discussing  The Wind-up Bird Chronicles, by Haruki Murakami. This is one of Murakami’s most beloved novels and was listed by The Telegraph as one of the 10 best Asian novels of all time. 

“In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat – and then for his wife as well – in a netherworld beneath the city’s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists.
