The City and Its Uncertain Walls (Hardcover, 464 pp) — Haruki Murakami

The City and Its Uncertain Walls is Murakami’s latest novel (released November 2024), a mesmerizing blend of surrealism, love, and literary homage. When a man’s girlfriend mysteriously disappears, he embarks on a quest to find the imaginary city where her true self resides. His journey leads him to a remote library filled with secrets—and ultimately to a walled city of horned beasts and willow trees. There, he discovers not just a lost lover, but a different life she no longer remembers—and must confront the boundaries between memory, identity, and sacrifice 

At 464 pages in hardcover, translated into English (publisher: Vintage Publishing via Harvill Secker), this novel is a touching tribute to books, librarians, and the inner worlds we build. It’s both a dreamlike voyage and a heartfelt love letter: to libraries that shelter imagination, to stories that shape us, and to the fragility of human connection in turbulent times 

Perfect for readers drawn to literary fiction, magical realism, and the introspective emotional depth Murakami is known for. As reality blurs with fantasy, The City and Its Uncertain Walls invites reflection on what we seek—and what we’re willing to lose—in love, literature, and life. A must-have for any modern book lover’s collection. Order your hardcover copy today.
