Description
Discover the work of Haruki Murakami with this anthology from Vintage Readers, a perfect introduction to some of the greatest modern writers.
“Murakami’s bold willingness to go straight over the top is a signal indication of his genius. . . . A world-class writer who has both eyes open and takes big risks.”—The Washington Post Book World
Few writers have ever won the sort of international acclaim enjoyed by Haruki Murakami. His genre-busting novels, short stories, and reportage, which have been translated into thirty-five languages, meld the surreal and the hard-boiled, deadpan comedy and delicate introspection.
Vintage Murakami includes the opening chapter of the international bestseller Norwegian Wood; “Lieutenant Mamiya’s Long Story: Parts I and II” from his monumental novel The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; “Shizuko Akashi” from Underground, his nonfiction book on the Toyko subway attack of 1995; and the short stories “Barn Burning,” “Honey Pie,” and, for the first time in book form, “Ice Man.”
