"Hear the Wind Sing" Author: [Japan] Haruki Murakami Publisher: Shanghai Translation Publishing House Original title: Hear the Wind Song

Haruki Murakami began his literary creation with the novella "Hear the Wind Sing".

I found a drunk girl in a bar and spent a drunken night at her home. Before I could explain the misunderstanding, they had become lovers. Before I could tell the sad past, she had disappeared without a trace. The love affair of just 18 days ended without a reason, but also seemed to contain infinite things. I could only sit alone by the sea, listening to the gentle singing of the summer breeze.
