About this product

Product Information

South of the Border, West of the Sun is the beguiling story of a past rekindled, and one of Haruki Murakami's most touching novels. Hajime has arrived at middle age with a loving family and an enviable career, yet he feels incomplete. When a childhood friend, now a beautiful woman, shows up with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajime's quotidian existence begin to give way. Rich, mysterious, and quietly dazzling, in South of the Border, West of the Sun the simple arc of one man's life becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Murakami's remarkable genius.

  • South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami

    Even as a fan of Haruki Murakami, it took some time to get around to this famous title by him. He is in some ways reminiscent of John Updike. His works give off the aura of not some quixotically gregarious old ex-college professor kind of author, but rather a guy who's been around, up and down and has examined himself and everything around him pretty thoroughly...right or wrong in his conclusions.
