Murakami, inzwischen der im Westen berühmteste japanische Autor, zeigt uns in dieser breit gefächerten Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten sein ganzes Können als Meister des Surrealen, des kleinen Schritts vom Alltäglichen ins Fantastische, bevölkert von mysteriösen Frauen und exzentrischen Ich-Erzählern Presents stories that sidestep the real and sprint for the surreal. This book includes diverse stories where everyday events are transcended, including the story of a young man who accompanies his cousin to the hospital to check an unusual hearing complaint; a couple's relationship that gets unbalanced; and more.
The twenty-four stories that make up Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman generously express the incomparable Haruki Murakami s mastery of the form.
Here are animated crows, a criminal monkey, and an ice man, as well as the dreams that shape us and the things we might wish for. From the surreal to the mundane, these stories exhibit Murakami s ability to transform the full range of human experience in ways that are instructive, surprising, and entertaining.
