Description
Haruki Murakami's first two novels are now available in English for the first time outside Japan. This collection includes Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973, with a new introduction by the author. The stories follow the narrator and his friend, known only as the Rat, as they navigate their lives and relationships. In Hear the Wind Sing, the narrator returns home from college for his summer break, spending time drinking beer and smoking in a local bar, reflecting on his writing and past experiences with women. Three years later, in Pinball, 1973, he has moved to Tokyo but remains haunted by memories of his doomed relationship and an obsession with playing pinball. The narrator's quest to find the exact model of pinball machine he enjoyed playing years earlier becomes a central theme in Pinball, 1973, as he searches for the elusive three-flipper Spaceship.
