Short stories from an amazing writer. In general, I prefer his novels, but the stories make a good introduction to his work. Often described as charming and haunting, Murakami's writing is clear and beautiful while his plots are quirky mixtures of the surreal and the mundane. A must read for anyone interested in Japanese culture.
