Description: After 43 years since the initial presentation, Murakami Haruki finally completes the novel that he had harbored in his heart. A decisive world encompassing the imaginative power of Harukian uniqueness!"In this work, there is something very important to me, I felt that way from the beginning." - Murakami Haruki Murakami Haruki's latest full-length novel, "City and Its Uncertain Wall," has a special story intertwined with its writing and publication. Since his debut in 1979, Haruki has published various writings, including novels, in various literary magazines, most of which have been officially compiled and published into books. Among them, the only work that remained a long-standing mystery among fans for not being published as a standalone book was the mid-length novel "City and Its Uncertain Wall" (1980), published in the literary magazine "Literary World."In 2020, as walls began to rise between people due to COVID-19, he thought he could finally refine and complete the work that had been buried for forty years. After three years of writing, he released the three-part novel "City and Its Uncertain Wall" to the world. The author, in his 70s and consistently generating the "Haruki Syndrome" with each new work, finally completed the world he had envisioned during his youth, 43 years later."Among the novels I've written, there's almost none that hasn't been turned into a book, but this work has never been published in Japan or any other country. (...) In the meantime, I went from being thirty-one to seventy. (...) Anyway, being able to rewrite (or complete) this work in a new form made me honestly feel very relieved. This work has always been a presence that bothered me like a fishbone stuck in my throat. (...) It was, again, a thorn with significant meaning for me (for me as a writer, for me as a human). Writing it anew after forty years and returning to 'that city,' I keenly felt the truth of it once again." - Murakami Haruki, in the author's postscript to "City and Its Uncertain Wall" 첫 발표 이후 43년, 마음에 품어왔던 소설을 마침내 완성하다.하루키적 상상력의 모든 것이 담긴 결정적 세계! “이 작품에는 무언가 나에게 매우 중요한 요소가 포함되어 있다고,처음부터 그렇게 느껴왔다.” _무라카미 하루키 무라카미 하루키의 신작 장편소설 『도시와 그 불확실한 벽』은 집필과 출간에 얽힌 이야기가 특별하다. 1979년 데뷔 이래, 하루키는 각종 문예지에 소설을 비롯한 다양한 글을 발표했고, 대부분 그 글들을 책으로 엮어 공식 출간했다. 그중 유일하게 단행본으로 출간되지 않아 팬들 사이에서도 오랜 미스터리로 남은 작품이 문예지 〈문학계〉에 발표했던 중편소설 「도시와, 그 불확실한 벽」(1980)이었다. 코로나19로 사람들 사이에 벽이 세워지기 시작한 2020년, 그는 사십 년간 묻어두었던 작품을 새로 다듬어 완성할 수 있겠다고 생각했다. 그리고 삼 년간의 집필 끝에 총 3부 구성의 장편소설 『도시와 그 불확실한 벽』을 세상에 내놓았다. 매 작품을 발표할 때마다 ‘하루키 신드롬’을 일으키며 전 세계 독자들의 사랑을 받고 있는 70대의 작가가 청년 시절에 그렸던 세계를 43년 만에 마침내 완성한 것이다. “내가 쓴 소설 가운데 책이 되어 나오지 않은 것은 거의 없을 텐데, 이 작품만은 일본에서도 다른 어느 나라에서도 아직 한 번도 출판되지 않았다. (…) 그사이 나는 서른한 살에서 일흔한 살이 되었다. (…) 어쨌거나 이 작품을 이렇게 다시 한번, 새로운 형태로 다듬어 쓸 수 있어서(혹은 완성할 수 있어서) 솔직히 마음이 무척 편안해졌다. 나에게 이 작품은 줄곧 목에 걸린 생선 가시처럼 신경쓰이는 존재였으므로. (…) 그것은 역시 나에게(나라는 작가에게, 나라는 인간에게) 중요한 의미를 지니는 가시였다. 사십 년 만에 새로 쓰면서 다시 한번 ‘그 도시’에 돌아가보고, 그 사실을 새삼 통감했다.” _무라카미 하루키, 『도시와 그 불확실한 벽』 작가 후기에서 ==========▶Shipping & HandlingWe offer worldwide shipping services.
