End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland: Isabel Vincent and the doors they lead

and the doors they lead us through

The pelican does what a pelican can do

but before the police can arrive it is stolen in a violent raid

Doc's search for Kira takes him from the coast of Brazil to northern Europe and the jungles of the Congo

A fire that could end his world as he knew it

End of the World and Hard-Boiled Wonderland: Isabel Vincent and the doors they leadHyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive, The End of the World and Hard Boiled Wonderland is Haruki Murakami's deep dive into the very nature of consciousness. Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers into a mind bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect.
