«A Wild Sheep Chase» is the fantasy novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Vintage in paperback (368 pages, in English).
An advertising executive includes in an ad a postcard with a mutant sheep that has a star on its back. That image attracts a mysterious man who demands he find the animal or suffer consequences. The search takes him from Tokyo to the mountains of northern Japan in a surreal adventure with touches of noir fiction.
Third installment in The Rat series, with English translation by Alfred Birnbaum. Originally published in Japanese, it won the Noma Prize in 1982.
