Infinitely Approximating Transparent Blue (collection of Murakami Ryu's Works)

About This Novel
The debut novel by Japanese literary genius Ryu Murakami won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's highest literary award, and the Newcomer Award for Group Portrait. The origin of Japan's "transparent" literary genre touches the pain of youthful confusion. In the late 1970s, Japan experienced a stage of rapid economic development and began to enter a mature stage of capitalism. However, the unprecedented improvement in material living standards has not brought happiness to a group of young men and women living near the US military base in Fussa District, Tokyo. On the contrary, in their eyes, society is like a huge black bird, casting a shadow over the city that makes people unable to escape, making them breathless. This group of people have nothing to do all day long and indulge in a dissolute life. But after the fanaticism passed, I found that I was still confused about life.
