Killing Commendatore Part 1

Description

A painter adept at capturing the secrets hidden behind the faces of his subjects. A perplexing painting by a great artist, discovered decades later in a house’s attic. A rustling in a forest surrounded by eccentric neighbors. And a bell, its solemn and mournful tolling, slips through the trees in the dead of night.

A novel about the constructive power of art and the destructive power of violence; about the ability to transform our fragility into gold, no matter how bleak our days may seem.

“As always, Murakami captivates us by revealing the extraordinary within our mundane lives, finding magic in the details of our everyday existence.”

“In Killing Commendatore, Murakami’s genius moves with exquisite grace between reality and delirium.”
