While the original story of A Wild Sheep Chase was set in the 1970s, translator Alfred Birnbaum and Kodansha editor Elmer Luke wanted a story that was more contemporary and also appealed to American readers. It won the 1982 Noma Literary Newcomer's Prize. It is an independent sequel to Pinball, 1973, and the third book in the so-called "Trilogy of the Rat". First published in Japan in 1982, it was translated into English in 1989.
