Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World D&AD a famous young black authorHyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive, Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World 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.
