"In this hybrid of mythology and mystery, a twenty-something advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company's advertisement. What he doesn't realize is that included in the pastoral scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man in black who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences. This catapults him into a surreal and elaborate quest to find the mythical sheep in the remote and snowy mountains of northern Japan."@en . . . . . . . . . "Allegories"@en . . . . "Audiobooks"@en .

"Dark, dry and downright weird but also incredibly funny, 'A Wild Sheep Chase' is the story of a man, a girl, her ears and a very special sheep. But this is no lost sheep, the sheep went of its own accord. It may or may not be running the world!"@en . . . . . "A wild sheep chase is one of Murakami's most fantastical novels. An advertising executive, infatuated with a girl who possesses the most perfect ears (an erotic charge for him) uses a picture of a sheep with a star on its back. This catapults him into a weird adventure to find the mythical sheep up in the wilds of Hokkaido, Japan's northern island. There are strange encounters, a hotel with an extra disappearing floor, and other oddities. A wild sheep chase is an early Murakami work, but its remarkable and individual voice makes it one of the most thrilling of his books."@en . . . . . .
