高い壁に囲まれ、外界との接触がまるでない街で、そこに住む一角獣たちの頭骨から夢を読んで暮らす〈僕〉の物語、〔世界の終り〕。老科学者により意識の核に或る思考回路を組み込まれた〈私〉が、その回路に隠された秘密を巡って活躍する〔ハードボイルド・ワンダーランド〕。静寂な幻想世界と波瀾万丈の冒険活劇の二つの物語が同時進行して織りなす、村上春樹の不思議の国。
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Murakami's two stories which alternate, chapter by chapter are told by two narrators, who split duties here. Ian Porter is the baritone, thoughtful and deliberative; Adam Sims is lighter spirited, flightier, and more amused by the bizarre comedy of Murakami's puzzle box. Both readers are well chosen, expertly picking their way across the minefield of this intoxicating, perplexing story. And their balancing act mimics the book's alternation of tones, styles, and stories. The recording is studded by occasional studio sound effects that are hardly necessary, but do manage to cleverly amplify the woozy, trippy disorientation of the tale. A Vintage paperback.
