Haruki Murakami / Philip Gabriel
Übersicht
A riveting new collection of short stories from the beloved, internationally acclaimed, Haruki Murakami.
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 (like With the Beatles , Cream and On a Stone Pillow ) are nostalgic looks back at youth. Others are set in adulthood-- Charlie Parker Plays Bossa Nova , Carnaval , Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey and the stunning title story. Occasionally, a narrator who may or may not be Haruki himself is present, as in The Yakult Swallows Poetry Collection . Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides. The stories all touch beautifully on love and loss, childhood and death . . . all with a signature Murakami twist.'
