8/10
mimi’s rating

This collection gathers three of Haruki Murakami's most celebrated short stories, originally published in Japanese in the 1980s and later translated into English. The narratives explore the quiet, often surreal undercurrents of modern urban life, focusing on men navigating moments of profound isolation, romantic uncertainty, and existential drift. Each story features a protagonist who encounters a strange or pivotal event that disrupts their routine, leading to a contemplative examination of connection and loss.
