«Al sur de la frontera, al oeste del Sol» is the novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Tusquets Editores S.A. in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Hajime, an only child, recalls his childhood with Shimamoto, also an only child, with whom he shared secrets and interests. As an adult, married with two daughters, he runs a jazz club and leads a comfortable life, but the reunion with his teenage friend rekindles the attraction and pushes him to question whether he is willing to give it all up. The novel explores lost loves and the promise of a fullness that seems to slip away.
It belongs to the Andanzas collection, number 520. The translation is by Lourdes Porta Fuentes. The original work is Japanese.
For readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate Murakami's intimate stories about memory and life's dissatisfaction.
