Review Quotes: "Murakami is a mythmaker for the millennium, a wiseacre wiseman." --New York Times Book Review
"A delight ... equal parts screwball comedy, detective story, and heroic quest." --USA Today"A witty adventure ... a piece of verbal anarchy ... a labyrinthine mystery from start to finish." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Marvelously engaging, at turns witty, dry, wicked, even loopy. Reading A Wild Sheep Chase is like spending a splendidly foul weekend with the Four Raymonds--Chandler, Carver, Massey, and Queneau." --Frederick Barthelme
