內容簡介
內容簡介 「這頭看出什麼來了吧？」男人問。「種類不一樣。」我說。「對。除了從右邊算起的第三頭羊，其他都是普通的Suffolks種。……結論是，這種羊不在存在於日本。而且可能全世界也沒有這樣的羊。所以，現在你正在看的是一頭應該不存在的羊。」我拿著放大鏡，試著再觀察一次……仔細看之後，發現羊背上正中央一帶，有一個像是咖啡濺出來所形成的淺色調的斑點紋。…… 「看得出背上有個很淡的斑點對嗎？」「不是斑點。」那人說。「是星形的斑紋。請你跟這個對照看看。」本書中文書介出自《尋羊冒險記》時報文化出版Haruki Murakami's third novel, A Wild Sheep Chase is the mystery hybrid which completes the odyssey begun in Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973.The man was leading an aimless life, time passing, one big blank. His girlfriend has perfectly formed ears, ears with the power to bewitch, marvels of creation. The man receives a letter from a friend, enclosing a seemingly innocent photograph of sheep, and a request: place the photograph somewhere it will be seen.Then, one September afternoon, the phone rings, and the adventure begins. Welcome to the wild sheep chase.'Mr. Murakami's style and imagination are closer to that of Kurt Vonnegut, Raymond Carver and John Irving' New York Times"
