Killing Commendatore
ByPublisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art—from one of our greatest writers. • “Exhilarating ... magical.” —The Washington Post
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.

“Of the (now) 4 Murakami I have read, this one moved me the least. Not bad by any means, if you enjoy Murakami, but all the usual hallmarks that make up his works were presented better or more effectively in his other works. Perhaps I’m just not smart enough to fully understand what he wanted to do or say, but that doesn’t change that I finished the book mystified as to what I just read. An entertaining read, but not one that will stick with me I imagine.”
