A beautifully packaged hardback edition of Haruki Murakami's mesmerizingly evocative classic,now with a new introduction by the author
Eyes mark the shape of the city
The midnight hour approaches in an almost-empty diner. Mari sips her coffee and reads a book,but soon her solitude is disturbed: a girl has been beaten up at the Alphaville hotel,and needs Mari's help.
Meanwhile Mari's beautiful sister Eri lies in a deep,heavy sleep that is'too perfect,too pure'to be normal; it has lasted for two months. But tonight as the digital clock displays 00:00,a hint of life flickers across the television screen in her room,even though its plug has been pulled out.
Strange nocturnal happenings,or a trick of the night
