Men without women, stories
Author: Murakami, Haruki
Year: 2017
Language: English
Type: Book
Content type: Short story
Publisher: Harvill Secker
Physical or Electronic: Physical
Note: Translated from the Japanese 'I find writing novels a challenge, writing stories a joy. If writing novels is like planting a forest, then writing short stories is more like planting a garden.' 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.

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his years of pilgrimage
Author: Murakami, Haruki
Year: [2015]
Language: English
Type: Book
Publisher: Vintage Books
Physical or Electronic: Physical
Note: This translation originally published: London: Harvill Secker, 2014 In high school, Tsukuru Tazaki belonged to an extremely tight-knit group of friends who pledged to stay together forever. But when Tsukuru returns home from his first year of college in Tokyo, he finds that they want nothing to do with him. Something has changed, but nobody will tell him what - and he never sees them again. Years later, Tsukuru has become a successful engineer, but is also something of a loner. It is only when he begins dating an older woman named Sara that he confesses the story of this mysterious betrayal and the shadow it has cast over his life. She becomes convinced that Tsukuru must track down his old group to try to answer the question that has haunted him all these years, creating a hole inside of him - why did they suddenly turn on him?
