A man is entrusted to go on a chase after a dream sheep - a sheep with a birth mark star on its back. In Japan, even with fully accountable sheep rearing and raising ,its a herculean task to track this sheep. Not just because it is one out of many and could be anywhere, but also because it's variety is not known to exist in the world. It might be a hallucinated creation. It is intricately tied to Japan's politics, communication and all sorts of people manipulation. Does the man find the sheep? Is the sheep a benevolent or malign entity? What is the origin of the sheep and where will it end?
Loved the book! The voice of Murakami is very addictive and the tone of his writing is damn good.
