A
tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art, Killing
Commendatore
is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest writers.
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.
