43 years after its first publication, I finally completed the novel I had been dreaming of. A definitive world containing everything of Haruki's imagination! “I have felt that way from the beginning that this work contains elements that are very important to me.” _Haruki Murakami The Korean version of Haruki Murakami's new full-length novel, “The City and Its Uncertain Wall,” will be published on September 6. On the day of publication in April 2023, this work paralyzed major bookstores due to the influx of readers and media coverage, and showed off its power by rising to the top bestseller spot in the first half of the year in just two months. Munhakdongne presents the world’s first translation of the new work. The story behind the writing and presentation of this new work is special. Since his debut in 1979, Haruki Murakami has published a variety of writings, including novels, in various literary magazines, and most of them have been officially published in books. Among them, the only work that was not published as a book and thus remained a mystery even among fans for a long time was the novella “The City and Its Uncertain Wall” (1980), which was published in the literary magazine [Literature]. Haruki says that although he did not publish this work as a book, he always had it in his mind as a writer. In 2020, when walls began to be erected between people due to COVID-19, the artist believes that he will finally be able to refine and complete the work he had buried for forty years. And after three years of writing, he published the full-length novel “The City and its Uncertain Walls,” consisting of three parts, to the world. A writer in his 70s who is loved by readers around the world, causing the ‘Haruki Syndrome’, has finally completed the world he drew in his youth. The world that master Haruki has solidly built for 43 years is fully captured in one volume, “The City and Its Uncertain Walls.”
