Each book in the series is a literary gem.
Haruki Murakami is a Japanese writer who became a classic in his lifetime. His novels "Norwegian Wood," "A Wild Sheep Chase," and "Kafka on the Shore" brought him worldwide fame. Murakami is a great admirer of Franz Kafka. It's no coincidence that one of his last collections begins with the story "Samsa in Love." This work became the starting point for the book "Men Without Women."
Murakami's main characters are men who have been abandoned by their women for a variety of reasons. Some were separated by betrayal, some by death, some by chance, and for others, it was a conscious choice.
"Becoming men without women is very easy. It's enough to love a woman deeply enough for her to disappear. In most cases, they are kidnapped by treacherous sailors. They talk the girls into believing they're worthless and quickly whisk them off to Marseille or the Ivory Coast. And we can't do anything about it. Or maybe they take their own lives without any connection to the sailors. We can't do anything about that either. Not just us—even the sailors."
