The Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World Audiobook (Free)

Hyperkinetic and relentlessly inventive, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End from the World is Haruki Murakami’s deep dive into the very nature of consciousness.

Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws readers right into a mind-bending universe where Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and different thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to stunning effect. What emerges is normally a novel that is simultaneously hilariously funny and a deeply critical meditation on the type and uses of the mind.
