A tour de force of love and loneliness, war and art, Killing
Commendatore is a stunning work of imagination from one of our greatest
writers.
When a thirty-something portrait painter is abandoned by his wife, he
secludes himself in the mountain home of a world famous artist. One day,
the young painter hears a noise from the attic, and upon investigation,
he discovers a previously unseen painting. By unearthing this hidden
work of art, he unintentionally opens a circle of mysterious
circumstances; and to close it, he must undertake a perilous journey
into a netherworld that only Haruki Murakami could conjure.
