The main character of Murakami's new novel is a lonely 38—year-old man named Tsukuru Tazaki, who is trying to sort out his past and embarks on a journey for this. He became "colorless" due to the fact that there is no hieroglyph in his surname denoting color. Meanwhile, in the surnames of four friends of his childhood, such hieroglyphs were — "red", "blue", "white" and "black". Throughout the novel, the hero finds out the reasons why he could not maintain a relationship with his "colored" friends.
