Vintage Murakami

Discover the work of Haruki Murakami with this anthology from Vintage Readers, a perfect introduction to some of the greatest modern writers.“Murakami’s bold willingness to go straight over the top is a signal indication of his genius. . . . A world-class writer who has both eyes open and takes big risks.”—The Washington Post Book WorldFew writers have ever won the sort of international acclaim enjoyed by Haruki Murakami. His genre-busting novels, short stories, and reportage, which have been translated into thirty-five languages, meld the surreal and the hard-boiled, deadpan comedy and delicate introspection.Vintage Murakami includes the opening chapter of the international bestseller Norwegian Wood; “Lieutenant Mamiya’s Long Story: Parts I and II” from his monumental novel The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; “Shizuko Akashi” from Underground, his nonfiction book on the Toyko subway attack of 1995; and the short stories “Barn Burning,” “Honey Pie,” and, for the first time in book form, “Ice Man.”
