Haruki Murakami’s first novel in six years will be published this spring.

It’s true: a new Haruki Murakami novel—his first since 2017’s Killing Commendatore—will be published on April 13th . . . but only in Japan. Sorry to tease you, English-speaking readers! Still, not to fret: I’m sure this means that translations are forthcoming.

In the meantime, here’s everything we know:

1. The Japanese version is 1,200 pages.

2. It’s called The City and Its Uncertain Walls.

3. It is set in a “soul-stirring, 100% pure Murakami world” and involves “a story that had long been sealed.”

4. It has the same title as a 1980 short story, also by Murakami.

5. Whatever this teaser released by the publisher means: “Must go to the city. No matter what happens. A locked up ‘story’ starts to move quietly as if ‘old dreams’ are woken up and unravelled in a secluded archive.”

Sounds about right.
