Haruki Murakami is a Japanese writer who became a classic in his lifetime thanks to his novels "A Wild Sheep Chase," "Norwegian Wood," "Kafka on the Shore," and others. During a baseball game in 1978, Murakami suddenly realized he could write a book. He wrote his first texts at night in his jazz bar. This collection of short stories is the quintessence of the author's work.

Is this book autobiographical? Yes and no. Murakami will tell you eight stories, and you will decide for yourself whether you believe him. A girl writing tanka and shouting someone else's name at the moment of climax will await you on the pages of the book. An old man will tell you about the cream of creams—the essence of life. A non-existent record of "Bird" will be found on the shelves of the store. The narrator will meet the ugliest woman in the world and, with her, listen to every recording of Schumann's "Carnival." A beautiful girl will stroll down the school hallway with a "With the Beatles" record and vanish into oblivion forever. And a talking monkey from Shinagawa, over a beer, will confess to stealing women's names.
