β¦ Synopsis
In the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: two remarkable short novelsβHear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973βthat launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time.
These powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of ageβthe unnamed narrator and his friend the Ratβare stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakamiβs later books, and form the first two-thirds, with A Wild Sheep Chase, of the trilogy of the Rat.
Widely available in English for the first time ever, newly translated, and featuring a new introduction by Murakami himself, Wind/Pinball gives us a fascinating insight into a great writerβs beginnings.
