Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (世界の終りとハードボイルド・ワンダーランド, Sekai no Owari to Hādo-Boirudo Wandārando) is a 1985 novel by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. It was awarded the Tanizaki Prize in 1985. The English translation by Alfred Birnbaum was released in 1991. A strange and dreamlike novel, its chapters alternate between two narratives—"Hard-Boiled Wonderland" (the cyberpunk, science fiction part) and "The End of the World" (the surreal, virtual fantasy part).

My vote for best Murakami novel, though not as well known as his other books.

5 étoiles

The book that made me fall in love with Murakami's imagination. Surreal encounters, a parallel dimension... Though the rest of his work never quite achieves the same harmonics, I continue to read him hoping for another visit to the end of the world.
