A review by martuchi
Birthday Stories: Selected and Introduced by Haruki Murakami by Haruki Murakami

emotional lighthearted sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I really think that Murakami actually chose most of these stories because they suck, so his story “Birthday Girl” would stand out —it is the only one I completely enjoy at the end, apart from 1 or 2 more.
