The Strange Library

by Ted Goossen and Haruki Murakami

Ted Goossen (Translator)

From internationally acclaimed author Haruki Murakami—a fantastical illustrated short novel about a boy imprisoned in a nightmarish library.
 
Opening the flaps on this unique little book, readers will find themselves immersed in the strange world of best-selling Haruki Murakami's wild imagination. The story of a lonely boy, a mysterious girl, and a tormented sheep man plotting their escape from a nightmarish library, the book is like nothing else Murakami has written. Designed by Chip Kidd and fully illustrated, in full color, throughout, this small format, 96 page volume is a treat for book lovers of all ages.

Quite a meaty read for a short story. The final page shocked me and changed my entire perspective, making me want to read the entire thing over again. More of my thoughts on this title can be found on my blog at A Lovely Bookshelf on the Wall.
