Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami

Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami

Review

incredibly entertaining, insightful, and flawless new collection of short stories. Observer: Murakami has a wonderful awareness of youth and maturity, and each's flaws.

Murakami writes about complicated subjects with his customarily alluring simplicity. It was strangely energising to read. It showcases Murakami at his most romantic and whimsical.

The stories offer sweet-sour reflections on human alone and a need to connect, and they are calculatedly provocative. Murakami, who is constantly imaginative, is one of the best known authors working today -- The Evening Standard's Ian Thomson

With all the cats, spaghetti, humour, and light surrealism we might anticipate, the book is written. A collection of seven stories about the lives of people attempting to find their place in the world and coming to terms with it, Men Without Women is a funny, charming, and unmistakably Murakami book. Buzzfeed: "Fin their pasts"

Hayley Maitland's portrayal of modern loneliness is unsettlingly humorous, according to Vogue
