In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wifes missing catand then for his wife as wellin a netherworld beneath the citys placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japans forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.
