Random House presents the audiobook edition of Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami, read by Kirby Heyborne.

The epic new novel from the internationally acclaimed and best-selling author of 1Q84.

In Killing Commendatore, a thirty-something portrait painter in Tokyo is abandoned by his wife and finds himself holed up in the mountain home of a famous artist, Tomohiko Amada. When he discovers a strange painting in the attic, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances. To close it, he must complete a journey that involves a mysterious ringing bell, a two-foot-high physical manifestation of an Idea, a dapper businessman who lives across the valley, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt during World War II in Vienna, a pit in the woods behind the artist’s home, and an underworld haunted by Double Metaphors.

A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art – as well as a loving homage to The Great Gatsby – Killing Commendatore is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers.

Recensies van critici

It’s safe to say that there’s no one like Murakami
Murakami’s reality has many sides; some plain, some fancy. Translators Philip Gabriel and Ted Goossen capture every colour on this mind-altering palette. No other author mixes domestic, fantastic and esoteric elements into such weirdly bewitching shades. Murakami’s “Land of Metaphor” remains a country where wonders never cease (Boyd Tonkin)
Wild, thrilling. . . Murakami is a master storyteller and he knows how to keep us hooked
Expansive and intricate . . . touches on many of the themes familiar in Mr. Murakami’s novels: the mystery of romantic love, the weight of history, the transcendence of art, the search for elusive things just outside our grasp
I found it totally gripping with scarcely a dull page, the loose ends enhancing its mystery. An absorbing work by a great writer
An immersive big-hearted new novel
Written in a simple, readable style that leaves you free to concentrate on the weirdness of the content… There is no other writer able to give us the fix that his unique qualities provide
In this novel, [Murakami] captures the creative process compellingly… The complex landscape that Murakami assembles in Killing Commendatore is a word portrait of the artist’s inner life
Murakami keeps the reader gripped
Rich, sprawling… Killing Commendatore is a… powerful, sustained meditation on how we engage with works of art

I really wanted to like this book but God what a mess. This is boring, overly repetitive and has a meaningless story and characters. the typical murakami magic is nowhere to be seen. this is one of murakamis weakest books and if your value you time go read Kafka on the shore or something else entirely. and if I hear "the man with the white Subaru Forester" ever again, I am gonne lose it.

what a mess
