About This Novel
Haruki Murakami's first short story collection includes all the creative elements of "Murakami Universe" and depicts urban life intertwined with anxiety, loneliness and frustration in absurd and bizarre strokes. Seven stories filled with loss are also requiems for countless lost people. "The Boat to China" is not only the first short story written by Haruki Murakami, but also the forerunner of the "Chinese origin" in his future works. "The Tragedy of the New York Coal Mine": a story about people who died beforehand, a sentimental journey across reality, and a confused song that chews on the nihility of life. "The Last Lawn in the Afternoon": As I read it, I actually wanted to mow the lawn. (Lin Shaohua). "Sydney's Green Street": The classic character "Sheep Man" appears for the first time, an absurd and wonderful fairy tale for adults. This is Haruki Murakami's first short story collection, which includes seven works including the short story "The Boat to China". These works contain almost all elements of Murakami's next series of creations, from surreal creative techniques to writing themes such as "loneliness". This collection of short stories can be regarded as the mother of the author's creations.
