A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art, Killing Commendatore is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers.

When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he secludes himself in the mountain home of a world famous artist. One day, the young painter hears a noise from the attic, and upon investigation, he discovers a previously unseen painting. By unearthing this hidden work of art, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious circumstances; and to close it, he must undertake a perilous journey into a netherworld that only Haruki Murakami could conjure.

Amazing read

The book is pretty depressing, but really illuminating at the same time. I'll leave it at that. Very easy to read, paints the major themes early, and not at all condescending or pretentious. A sad tale but worth every minute of your time.

Killing Commendatore

This is a best novel and can be a great introduction to first time for Murakami readers. For such a prolific author who can keep quality levels at such a high standard, I am amazed!
