Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
I lost the pitiful Chinese girl, and from then on I could only sit at the harbor and gaze at the horizon every day, waiting for the boat to China; my friends died one after another, and those who were still alive were like being sealed in a collapsed New York coal mine, waiting for the air to dry up. But I did not lose hope in life, even though the poor aunt society I imagined was still far away in 1980; I also did not forget to play a joke on life from time to time, and be a funny detective in Sydney's dirty "Green Street". Haruki Murakami's earliest short story collection. Haruki Murakami's profundity and humor are condensed here.

About the Author · · · · · ·
Haruki Murakami (1949- ) is a Japanese novelist. He studied at the Department of Drama, Faculty of Literature, Waseda University. In 1979, his first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, was adapted into a film. Subsequently, his excellent works, Pinball in 1973, A Sheep Chase, and Norwegian Wood, were published one after another. His works are not bound by tradition, with novel ideas and free and easy writing, but not vulgar and shallow. He is especially unique in depicting people's loneliness and helplessness. He did not write this emotion as a negative thing, but sublimated it into an elegant style and a state of enjoyment through inner mental operations, thereby providing readers, especially those living in cities, with a lifestyle or life experience.
