Summary:
The eight masterful stories in this new collection are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator: a lonely man. Some of them are nostalgic looks back at youth -- others are set in adulthood. Occasionally, a narrator who may or may not be Haruki himself is present. The stories all touch beautifully on love and loss, childhood and death -- all with a signature Murakami twist. --Provided by publisher.
