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. 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.
