A beautifully packaged hardcover edition of Haruki Murakami's breakthrough success, now featuring a new foreword by the author.

When he hears his favorite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe is reminded of his first love, Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. He is instantly transported nearly twenty years back to his student days in Tokyo, lost in a world of strained friendships, casual sex, passion, loss, and desire – a time when an impulsive young woman named Midori enters his life, forcing him to choose between the future and the past.

Evocative, entertaining, sexy, and funny, but Murakami is ultimately one of the greatest writers of our time.
