Ben Chase is a war hero haunted by his horrifying experience in Vietnam. The guilt that he feels affects his everyday life and he has become reliant upon alcohol to simply get by. His existence is a cheerless routine that is likely to lead to an inevitably sad and lonely end. Yet after witnessing an attempted murder and saving the life of a would-be victim, Ben becomes the serial killer's next intended kill. Or is he just imagining this plot due to his unstable condition?..

A Wild Sheep Chase is one of Murakami's most fantastical novels. An advertising executive, infatuated with a girl who possesses teh most perfect ears, is sent on a search for the sheep with a star on its back. This catapults him into a weird adventure to find the sheep in the wilds of Hookaido, Japan's northern island. There are strange stories, strange encounters. A Wild Sheep Chase is an early murakami work, but its remarkable and individual voice makes it one of the most compelling - and funny - of his books.
