Men Without Women
Haruki Murakami · 2017
<b><b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER </b>• <b>Including the story "Drive My Car”—now an <b>Academy Award</b>–nominated film—this collection from the internationally acclaimed author</b> "examines what happens to characters without important women in their lives; it'll move you and confuse you and sometimes leave you with more questions than answers" (Barack Obama).<br><br></b>Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are lovesick doctors, students, ex-boyfriends, actors, bartenders, and even Kafka’s Gregor Samsa, brought together to tell stories that speak to us all. In <i>Men Without Women</i> Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic, marked by the same wry humor and pathos that have defined his entire body of work.

She is in the company of her daughter, Midoriko, who has lately grown silent, finding herself unable to voice the vague yet overwhelming pressures associated with adolescence. Over the course of their few days together in the capital, Midoriko’s silence will prove a catalyst for each woman to confront her fears and family secrets.<br><br>On yet another summer’s day eight years later, Natsu, during a journey back to her native city, confronts her anxieties about growing old alone and childless.<br><br>Bestselling author Mieko Kawakami mixes stylistic inventiveness and riveting emotional depth to tell a story of contemporary womanhood in Japan.<br><br>“Took my breath away.” —Haruki Murakami, #1 <i>New York Times–</i>bestselling author <i>The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle</i><br><br>“Kawakami lobbed a literary grenade into the fusty, male-dominated world of Japanese fiction with <i>Breast and Eggs</i>.” —<i>The Economist</i><br><br>“A sharply observed and heartbreaking portrait of what it means to be a woman.” —<i>TIME</i><br><br>“Raw, funny, mundane, heartbreaking.” —<i>The Atlantic</i><br><br>“A bracing, feminist exploration of daily life in Japan.” —<i>Entertainment Weekly</i><br><br>“Timely feminist themes; strange, surreal prose; and wonderful characters will transcend cultural barriers and enchant readers.” —<i>The New York Observer</i><br><br>“Bracing and evocative, tender yet unflinching.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>“Kawakami writes with unsettling precision about the body—its discomforts, its appetites, its smells and secretions. And she is especially good at capturing its longings.” —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>

<b>From the bestselling author of <i>Kafka on the Shore: </i>A magnificent coming-of-age story steeped in nostalgia, “a masterly novel” (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>) blending the music, the mood, and the ethos that were the sixties with a young man’s hopeless and heroic first love.<br><br><b>Now with a new introduction by the author.</b> <br></b><br> Toru, a serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before.
