Sinopsis	HARD-BOILED WONDERLAND AND THE END OF THE WORLD A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel, Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following. Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy. HARUKI MURAKAMI In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Men Without Women, Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers. Edad recomendada: Adultos. MURAKAMI HARUKI Kioto, 1949. El más popular y prestigioso autor japonés vivo, ganador de numerosos premios literarios dentro y fuera de su país. Nieto de un monje budista e hijo de profesores de literatura japonesa, estudió en la Universidad de Waseda, pero se formó, sobre todo, escuchando jazz, viendo películas de Hollywood y leyendo a autores como Richard Brautigan, Jack Kerouac o Kurt Vonnegut. Ese fervor por la cultura norteamericana lo llevó a dirigir durante años un club de jazz y, después, a traducir a autores como Raymond Carver, John Irving, J. D. Salinger, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote o Paul Theroux. A los veintinueve años, escribió su primera novela, Kaze no uta o kike Escucha la canción del viento . Después, vendrían libros notables, mezcla de realismo y de fábula, como Crónica del pájaro que da cuerda al mundo, Tokio Blues Norwegian Wood , Kafka en la orilla y 1Q84.
