Knopf, Inc., New York, in 1997"--Title page verso. Having quit his job, Toru Okada is enjoying a pleasant stint as a "house husband", listening to music and arranging the dry cleaning and doing the cooking - until his cat goes missing, his wife becomes distant and begins acting strangely, and he starts meeting enigmatic people with fantastic life stories. They involve him in a world of psychics, shared dreams, out-of-body experiences, and shaman-like powers, and tell him stories from Japan`s war in Manchuria, about espionage on the border with Mongolia, the battle of Nomonhan, the killing of the animals in Hsin-ching`s zoo, and the fate of Japanese prisoners-of-war in the Soviet camps in Siberia. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK jpascua 2017-07-27 14:00:41 jpascua 2017-07-27 14:00:41 9587 9551 9551 0 0 ddc 0 0 HED HED HED 2025-12-21 FIC M93w 1998 HED5897 2026-06-02 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
