First Person Singular

Surreal short stories blurring fiction and memoir.

If you're a fan of blurring realities with whimsical storytelling, Haruki Murakami's "First Person Singular" might be just the escape you need. These stories might resonate with you if you appreciate introspection, love the mingling of the mundane with the surreal, and enjoy narratives that feel deeply personal yet universal. They're an invitation into a space where dream and memory intersect, crafted by a master storyteller.

Description

A mindbending new collection of short stories from the beloved, internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami. The eight masterly stories in this new collection are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From nostalgic memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator who may or may not be Murakami himself is present. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides.
