First Person Singular

This collection gathers fifteen of Haruki Murakami's most celebrated short stories, spanning his career from his early breakthroughs to his more recent work. The narratives are unified by a distinctive atmosphere of urban isolation, where ordinary lives are punctuated by surreal, dreamlike events. Recurring motifs include the search for lost objects or people, the power of memory, and the solace found in jazz music and running.
