“Powerful. . . . Candid and often emotional.” —San Francisco
Chronicle

society in search of its bearings.” —A.V. Club
“Impressive.” —The Independent
“Chilling. . . . Murakami weaves a compelling true tale of normal
lives faced with abnormal realities.” —Sunday Tribune
“Powerfully observed. . . . A rattling chronicle of violence and
terror.” —Kirkus Reviews

emerges that the people who joined Aum felt just as adrift in the
world as Murakami’s own [fictional] characters do.” —The
Guardian
