What's on Claire Danes' Bookshelf?
Complex love affairs. Wit-laden asides. Swirling phantasmagoria. The actress reveals a long-standing passion for contemporary fiction.
By Haruki Murakami
This is a kind of
Alice in Wonderland premise: A man is looking for a cat. Murakami describes these banal domestic experiences, but, cumulatively, he spins an outrageous, trippy story. That's a kind of magic—to make the magical seem ordinary and vice versa. It's such a tender story, his search for the cat and, by extension, a life. That one task leads him on a labyrinthine journey.

Summer 2007 issue of
