The central character, after the disappearance of his wife begins meeting all kinds of strange people that are not decidedly located in reality or another world. The plot travels from an unidentified Japanese town to Manchuria to Malta to a deep waterless well near a haunted house.
Despite this strange plot, Murakami succeeds in writing a novel that makes you ponder about your own life and the nature of reality.
