First Person Singular: Stories
A mindbending new collection of short stories from the unique, internationally acclaimed author of `Norwegian Wood` and `The Wind-up Bird Chronicle`.The eight masterly stories in this new collection are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From nostalgic memories of youth, meditations on music and an ardent love of baseball to dreamlike scenarios, an encounter with a talking monkey and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator who may or may not be Murakami himself is present. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides.Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in `First Person Singular` all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory… all with a signature Murakami twist.
