    About Underground

    In this haunting work of journalistic investigation, Haruki Murakami tells the story of the horrific terrorist attack on Japanese soil that shook the entire world.
     
    On a clear spring day in 1995, five members of a religious cult unleashed poison gas on the Tokyo subway system. In attempt to discover why, Haruki Murakmi talks to the people who lived through the catastrophe, and in so doing lays bare the Japanese psyche. As he discerns the fundamental issues that led to the attack, Murakami paints a clear vision of an event that could occur anytime, anywhere.

    Praise

    “Powerful. . . . Candid and often emotional.” —San Francisco Chronicle

     “Both a literary memorial and a frank examination of a society in search of its bearings.” —A.V. Club

    “Impressive.” —The Independent

    “Chilling. . . . Murakami weaves a compelling true tale of normal lives faced with abnormal realities.” —Sunday Tribune

    “Powerfully observed. . . . A rattling chronicle of violence and terror.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “Through Murakami’s sensitive yet relentless questioning, it emerges that the people who joined Aum felt just as adrift in the world as Murakami’s own [fictional] characters do.” —The Guardian
