Wind/Pinball
by Haruki Murakami
Hear the Wind Sing
and
Pinball, 1973
- was an enigma. At first glance there seemed to be nothing special about them. But that changed the minute you began to read. They had the same words as the other books, the same sentences, yet something about them was different. Whatever that something was, it captivated people's minds, like opium. Why, I don't know . . . There are two reasons I call Wind/Pinball the novels of misfortune. First, no one grasped their true beauty. By the time they started figuring that out, it was too late. Second, the novels went bust.
