A Wild Sheep Chase
Our Price:
$14.35
A hybrid of mythology and mystery, A Wild Sheep Chase is the extraordinary literary thriller that launched Murakami's international reputation. It is the simple story of a twenty-something advertising executive that receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company's advertisement. In using this image he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man in black who offers an ultimatum: find this sheep or face dire consequences. Thus begins a surreal quest where he confronts not only the mythological sheep, but the confines of tradition and the demons deep within himself.
