First Person Singular: mind-bending new collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed author of NORWEGIAN WOOD

Tolles Buch, Murakami ist einfach ein gegenwärtiger Klassiker der modernen Literatur.Am besten stets im Original lesen.

The latest compilation of 10 stories, most of them already published in The New Yorker and other magazines takes the reader into the life in Japan and the world of the writer Murakami. As always music plays a part in several stories. The songs of the Fab 4 are play a role and also Robert Schumann and the Carnaval piano pieces. In some of the stories – the Yakult poem story about his love fpr baseball - and the last story “First Person Singular” the author himself is also the main character. All stories are fun to read and also offer a rare glimpse into Murakami’s personal life. My favorite was actually the Shinagawa monkey story, just perfect.
