Magical Realism

The City and Its Uncertain Walls

by Haruki Murakami

Murakami revisits a town surrounded by impenetrable walls, where shadows are separated from their selves and unicorns roam. His first novel in six years explores the boundaries between reality and dream, memory and desire, in a meditation on storytelling itself and the uncertain walls we build around truth.
