Abstract

The article focuses on Haruki Murakami's new novel, "The City and Its Uncertain Walls," which he revisited and expanded upon after initially writing a version over four decades ago. Murakami began this new iteration in January 2020, influenced by personal introspection during the COVID-19 pandemic and significant global events, ultimately completing it in December 2022. The novel explores themes of walls and shadows, representing various societal and personal barriers, and reflects on the complexities of navigating between different worlds. Released by Shinchosha Publishing Co., the book has generated excitement among fans, marking Murakami's first novel since "Killing Commendatore" in 2017. [Extracted from the article]
