TOKYO (AP) – Haruki Murakami’s new book has a title, though its content remains a mystery.
“Kishidancho Goroshi,” or “Killing Commendatore,” will hit Japanese bookstores on Feb. 24, the book’s publisher, Shinchosha Publishing Co. said Tuesday. Overseas availability isn’t yet known.
Shinchosha said the book will have two parts, with the Japanese subtitles meaning “Emerging Ideas” and “Moving Metaphor.”
The esoteric titles suggest a contrast from the past works by the acclaimed best-selling writer.
“The titles perhaps give you an impression that is different from Murakami’s past works, don’t they? What is its content like?” Shinchosha said in an email.
