Birthday Stories: Selected and Introduced by Haruki Murakami by Haruki Murakami
3.0
Birthday Stories was previously published in a Japanese translation by Haruki Murakami. In this anthology, Murakami selected 12 stories with Birthday theme and added one of his own short story. He also written a special introduction in which he shared about one of his own birthday experiences.
I immensely like "The Moor" by Russell Banks, "The Birthday Cake" by Daniel Lyons, "The Bath" by Raymond Carver, and "Close to the Water's Edge" by Claire Keegan. The rests are interesting read, too, including Murakami's Birthday Girl. But I just feel like they are not as gripping as the above mentioned stories.
