His life was like his recurring nightmare; a train to nowhere. But an ordinary life has a way of taking an extraordinary turn. Add a girl whose ears are so exquisite that, when unconvered, they improve sex a thousand-fold, a runaway friend, a right-wing politico, an ovine-obsessed professor and a manic-depressive in a sheep outfit, implicate them in a hunt for sheep that may or may not be running the world, and the upshot is another singular masterpiece from Japan's finest novelist.Translated from the Japanese by Alfred Birnbaum.ISBN: 9780099448778
