Birthday Stories: Selected and Introduced by Haruki Murakami by Haruki Murakami
3.0
Murakami... my toxic guilty pleasure... I read Birthday Stories on my 20th birthday (started at 00:00 and was done by 05:00). If I ever had a doubt of Murakami's pathological attraction to the dark side of life, this selection of short stories sure as hell has sealed the deal for me.
If any author aims to test their writing skills, "short stories" is the path they shall seek! The stories collected in this book are not in shortage of the Murakami-essence in terms of the ambiguity with writing, or the obscure flow of events for the characters.
After reading this book, which I have saved for the longest period of time, awaiting the right moment to start reading it... I was on hiatus (of all the Murakami-related publishings). Oh boy, have my days become so bright and joyous.
