The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
Murakami is one of my most treasured authors and this is my favorite work from him so far. Wind-Up Bird is a surreal mystery woven with history and Murakami's characteristic realm of mysticism. When the main character's wife goes missing, Toru finds himself looking for her in a netherworld of Tokyo filled with bizarre characters and events. Murakami's art of intrigue keeps the pages turning with anticipation of the next mysterious event. I recommend this book for more advanced readers or for those with a taste for the surreal.
