While writing these, I had the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's" and the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" loosely in mind. As the author notes in the "Preface," this is a collection of short stories that are tightly constructed, with each work resonating with the others. The six stories, "Drive My Car," "Yesterday," "An Independent Organ," "Scheherazade," "Kino," and "Men Without Women," each have distinct storylines, while the writing touches upon the subtle nuances of human existence. This can be said to be a collection of works in which the greatest contemporary author has perfectly accomplished what he can do, wants to do, and should do. "Drive My Car," "Yesterday," "An Independent Organ," "Scheherazade," "Kino," and 6 other stories in total. A dazzling collection of highly crystallized short stories. - Title: Men Without Women - Author: Haruki Murakami - ISBN: 978-4-16-390074-2 - Publisher: Bungeishunju - Genre: Short Story Collection Thank you for viewing.
