About This Novel
Haruki Murakami's short story collection consists of 7 short stories. To men without women, the world is a vast and aching mixture, as silent as the opposite side of the moon. "DrivemyCar": The stage actor Iafuku clearly knows that his wife, who is also an actor, and the actor in the same play have regular trysts, but he pretends not to know and plays the role of a loving couple in front of the world. "Yesterday": Muzun and I are in the same grade. We met while working part-time and started a wonderful "cultural exchange". "Independent Organs": My friend Du Hui, a plastic surgeon, believes in celibacy. When he lost his life, he was still asking himself what he was. "Arabian Nights": Hahara was imprisoned on an isolated island far away from the mainland. After falling in love with a female liaison officer, every time he had a relationship, the female liaison officer, like the princess in One Thousand and One Nights, would tell him a meaningful, enchanting story.

Yes, it's pretty
How should I put it, Jia Fu's existence seems to be more meaningful than his wife.
Read the book and sign in, read the book and sign in.
Not bad, not bad, good content
Keywords: Disappearance and loss, loneliness Men's lives are incomplete without women.
Kino was afraid to admit how sad he was. On that rainy night, his crying finally put aside his hypocritical self and faced the pain in his heart.
Murakami is a habitual reader, with no expectations and no surprises. Murakami is indeed repeating himself, or in other words, self-ossification. The stories in this collection of novels, no matter what kind of shell they are wrapped in, whether they are reality or fantasy, are actually about loss, search and failure. This kind of despair with no way out is the deep loneliness that everyone carries.
Vastness and pain coexist, endless aftertaste
Humans may be a belated species.
The men in the book let me see that they also share the characteristics of women such as sensitivity, tolerance, and slowness. On the contrary, it made me feel that the women in the book are more like the nervous men I see every day. Many things between men and women are described very carefully in the book, which made me feel that I was in the wrong place. Maybe I don't know Murakami well, but the psychological details of the characters reveal their characteristics more deeply. People are afraid of losing something, so they will always find ways to protect it and not touch it, but only after realizing it later will they find that they have been hurt.
