Underground 2: the Promised Land
About This Novel
"Underground 2" is Haruki Murakami's second documentary work after "Underground". Most of the space is the shady story of the cult dictated by former cult members. It is as detailed, realistic and shocking as "Underground". In search of healing, why did they create "Subway Sarin", an indiscriminate killing without redemption? Why do they find it difficult to live a normal life in this world? Where is the dream country they pursue? Thorough interviews with Aum believers and unguarded conversations with Mr. Hayao Kawai reveal the dark side of the heart enveloped by modern society. This book is the sequel to "Underground", also based on interviews compiled from audio recordings. After interviewing the victims of the Tokyo Sarin gas incident, the author conducted interviews with many former Aum Shinrikyo believers in 1997 to understand the internal situation of the cult organization and the spiritual world of the believers, and put forward suggestions for healing.
