A man living a mundane, aimless life. A girlfriend with bewitching ears. A photograph of a sheep and a mysterious phone call sets a man on a surreal real journey. What begins as a seemingly simple search for a magical sheep transforms into a quest for self-discovery, where the lines between reality and fantastical blur. With Murakami’s signature touch of magical realism, this tale unfolds as a beguiling blend of detective story and existential exploration, drawing the reader into a world where nothing is quite as it seems.​
