Description
Underground: A work of literary journalism that is as fascinating as it is necessary, Underground tells the story of the Tokyo subway attack in 1995. Haruki Murakami conducted hundreds of interviews with those involved, from survivors to perpetrators and relatives of victims, to understand what led to the attack. This unique nonfiction book is a document of what happened in Tokyo, as well as a warning of what could happen anywhere. Concerned with the fundamental issues that led to the attack, Underground presents personal accounts and explores the underlying factors that drove this tragic event.
