Killing Commendatore - Haruki Murakami

The much-anticipated new novel from the internationally acclaimed author of 1Q84 and Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage is an epic tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art--as well as a loving homage to The Great Gatsby.y.When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he secludes himself in the mountain home of a world famous artist. One day, the young painter hears a noise from the attic, and upon investigation, he discovers a previously unseen painting. By unearthing this hidden work of art, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances; and to close it, he must undertake a perilous journey into a netherworld that only Haruki Murakami could conjure. A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art, Killing Commendatore is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers.
