A Wild Sheep Chase
by Haruki Murakami
A Wild Sheep Chase was my first Haruki Murakami read, and it’s a surreal, captivating journey that blends mystery, philosophy, and the whimsical. Set in 1970s Tokyo, it follows a recently divered advertising executive whose life blalleged boring life spirals into the bizarre after he's tasked with tracking down a mysterious sheep with a star shaped mark which is tied to supernatural power by an evil organisations dying boss.
As the unnamed protagonist journeys to Hokkaido, he meets eccentric characters and is drawn into strange, dreamlike events that blur the line between reality.
Murakami explores themes of identity, modern alienation, and the elusive search for meaning and loss. This was a very strange book but also pretty addictive. I'm not sure if it was the best place to start, but this gives me an idea of what Murakami's writing is like, and im very happy that I have more of his work to jump into.
I'll think about this book for s long time I think.
