Mysterious Avenue
About This Novel
No wonder it's a blockbuster new work from Haruki Murakami's idol John Irving! Find the person you love and then lose him... Juan, a well-known writer, grew up in a Mexican garbage dump and traveled to the Philippines in his later years. Memories from 40 years ago are like a mysterious avenue that always surrounds him: the books rescued from the garbage dump fire, the lost nose of the Virgin Mary in the orphanage, the gloomy lions in the circus... And the fearful face of his thirteen-year-old sister - because she predicted the future of herself and her brother. What would she do if she could change the future? The deeper Juan recalled, the more he pieced together a shocking truth, and grief surged over him. Juan was only fourteen years old at the time. He could not choose what he would become, let alone save anyone's future.
