Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

Amazing collection of short stories. While I prefer his novels, simply because I love his writing so much that I love the fact I can stay longer in a novel\’s unique reality than in a short story\’s, it must be said that these short stories were also a fantastic experience. What fantastic voyages! What surreal experiences intertwined with moments that are instantly relatable! I find Murakami extremely brilliant and quotable, I have made countless Facebook status updates that are just quotes from his works. This short story collection is no exception, with plenty poignantly worded quotes that speak to me. Those who have read Murakami\’s novels will recognize that one of the short stories is almost like an excerpt from one of his novels… I didn\’t look at publication years but I assume this short story collection came first. Perhaps the short story is what inspired the novel to come to be? If so, I wonder if any of the other short stories will blossom into full length novels someday.

Stories were good but the narration choices were just awful. Patrick is very shouty. Ellen is alright.

Murakami has a particular tone to his books and the actors chosen for this book totally through off the kind of writing hes well known for. I couldnt finish the audio at all. Preview before buying.

MURAKAMIS short stories are easily to be engaged. The narrators are great. The stories are all very engaging and fascinating.

This particular book of short stories was bland. I kept thinking I must be misunderstanding something.
