About this listen

Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are vanishing cats and smoky bars, lonely hearts and mysterious women, baseball and the Beatles, woven together to tell stories that speak to us all.

Marked by the same wry humor that has defined his entire body of work, in this collection Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic.

Critic Reviews

"Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility." ( Guardian on Norwegian Wood)
"Brilliantly combines elements of the surreal, film noir and existentialist enquiry." ( Sunday Times on Dance, Dance, Dance)

The narrative is absolutely beautiful and gripping. It makes its way to you through all the cacophony of the day.

My first Haruki Murakami book. Liked the set of short stories. Some of these will definitely be in your thought for some time. It will make you think about the not so common happenings of life.

I found this book falling short on expectations. While the individual stories were interesting, I felt a lot of thrust was on peripherals or metaphorical detailing than the real characters or their connections especially in the second half of the book. The stories I liked were Drive my Car and An independent organ - both get into the loss of love and how the protagonists deal with it. Haruki's style of writing and the choice of words, even in translation are really rich. I also liked the narration on audible.

Interesting stories, nice narration, lacks connect
