A mind-bending new collection of short stories from the
internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami.
The eight stories in
this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami
narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent
love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums,
together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and
the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator may or may not be
Murakami himself. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides.
Philosophical and
mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch
beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory. . . all with
a signature Murakami twist.
