Killing Commendatore

It’s safe to say that there’s no one like Murakami * Literary Review *
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 * Financial Times *
Wild, thrilling. . . Murakami is a master storyteller and he knows how to keep us hooked * Sunday Times *
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 * New York Times *
I found it totally gripping with scarcely a dull page, the loose ends enhancing its mystery. An absorbing work by a great writer * Daily Express *
An immersive big-hearted new novel * Independent *
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 * Sunday Express *
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 * Times Literary Supplement *
Murakami keeps the reader gripped * The Week *
Rich, sprawling… Killing Commendatore is a… powerful, sustained meditation on how we engage with works of art * Daily Telegraph *
