<p><b>A special hardback edition of Murakami's surreal, mind-bending masterpiece, in a new, unabridged translation from Jay Rubin.</b><br/><br/>A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan, unicorn skulls and voracious librarians, John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story and post-modern manifesto all rolled into one rip-roaring novel, <i>The End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland</i> is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following.<br/><br/>Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy.<br/><br/>This edition is a newly unabridged translation from long-time Murakami collaborator, Jay Rubin.<br/><br/><b>'A remarkable writer...he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head' Jay McInerney</b></p>

<p> <strong>A publishing event ten years in the making<em>-</em>a searing, exquisite new novel by the best-selling and award-winning author of <em>Americanah</em> and <em>We Should All Be Feminists-</em>the story of four women and their loves, longings, and desires.</strong> </p> <p>Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. Alone in the midst of the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with her choices and regrets. Zikora, her best friend, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until - betrayed and brokenhearted - she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamaka's bold, outspoken cousin, is a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself. And Kadiatou, Chiamaka's housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America - but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve.</p> <p>In <em>Dream Count</em>, Adichie trains her fierce eye on these women in a sparkling, transcendent novel that takes up the very nature of love itself. Is true happiness ever attainable or is it just a fleeting state? And how honest must we be with ourselves in order to love, and to be loved? A trenchant reflection on the choices we make and those made for us, on daughters and mothers, on our interconnected world, <em>Dream Count</em> pulses with emotional urgency and poignant, unflinching observations on the human heart, in language that soars with beauty and power. It confirms Adichie's status as one of the most exciting and dynamic writers on the literary landscape.</p>
