A Wild Sheep Chase : ウィキペディア英語版 | A Wild Sheep Chase
(literally An Adventure Surrounding Sheep〔Slocombe, Will http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1232&context=clcweb〕) is the third novel by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. First published in Japan in 1982, it was translated into English in 1989. It is an independent sequel to ''Pinball, 1973'', and the third book in the so-called "Trilogy of the Rat". It won the 1982 Noma Literary Newcomer's Prize.
In ''A Wild Sheep Chase'', Murakami blends elements of American and English literature with Japanese contexts, exploring post-WWII Japanese cultural identity. The book is part mystery and part magical realism with a postmodern twist. ''A Wild Sheep Chase'' has been defined as a parody or a renewal of Yukio Mishima's . ==Plot summary== This mock-detective tale follows an unnamed Japanese man through Tokyo and Hokkaidō in 1978. The passive, chain-smoking main character gets swept away on an adventure that leads him on a hunt for a sheep that has not been seen for years. The apathetic protagonist meets a woman with magically seductive ears and a strange man who dresses as a sheep and talks in slurs; in this way there are elements of Japanese animism or Shinto. The manipulation of the narrator into the hunt and repeated references to ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'' raise connections to Conan Doyle's story "The Adventure of the Red-Headed League".
