各界期待已久的村上春樹新作，六年來的首部作品，重新回到了讀者熟悉的小鎮，在這裡將有一位讀夢者點評夢境，而我們的影子將不再如影隨形。這是一個愛情故事、一場探索之旅、一首向書籍及其藏身圖書館的頌歌，更是一則針對後疫情時代的寓言，《城市與不確定的牆》是當代文學最重要的作家之一所創造的獨特而卓越的成就。

From the bestselling author of Norwegian Wood and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World comes a love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for these peculiar times.

"Haruki Murakami invented 21st-century fiction." —The New York Times • "More than any author since Kafka, Murakami appreciates the genuine strangeness of our real world." —San Francisco Chronicle • "Murakami is masterful." —Los Angeles Times

"Truth is not found in fixed stillness, but in ceaseless change/movement. Isn't this the quintessential core of what stories are all about?” —Haruki Murakami, from the afterword to The City and Its Uncertain Walls

The long-awaited new novel from Haruki Murakami, his first in six years, revisits a Town his readers will remember, a place where a Dream Reader reviews dreams and where our shadows become untethered from our selves. A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, and a parable for these strange post-pandemic times, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a singular and towering achievement by one of modern literature’s most important writers.
