Über diesen Titel
Brought to you by Penguin.
The breathtaking new novel about the boundaries between worlds and individuals, from the internationally bestselling author of 1Q84.
When a young man’s girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. His search will lead him to take a job in a remote library with mysteries of its own.
When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a different library – a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he’s willing to lose.
A love story, a quest, an ode to books and to the libraries that house them, The City and Its Uncertain Walls is a parable for these strange times.

The translation doesn't take in account the I perspective of japanese language neither the nararion does.
The concept of hearth and mind stamming from far east culture is not translated correctly. using "brain" instead of mind is no go.
Mediocre translation and performance

Condensed and intimate, with little more than 4 main characters, the first-person narrative is brought to life by the more than excellent narrator. I have never heard a better one - and his Japanese background gives the story an unequaled authentic colouring. It‘s wonderful to hear the names of people and places pronounced perfectly as a Japanese would.
This was a unique experience!
