Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman: Stories - Paperback

by Haruki Murakami (Author)

From the surreal to the mundane, twenty-four stories that "show Murukami at his dynamic, organic best" (Los Angeles Times Book Review).

"A warning to new readers of Haruki Murakami: You will become addicted.... His newest collection is as enigmatic and sublime as ever." --San Francisco Chronicle

Here are animated crows, a criminal monkey, and an ice man, as well as the dreams that shape us and the things we might wish for. From the surreal to the mundane, these stories exhibit Murakami's ability to transform the full range of human experience in ways that are instructive, surprising, and entertaining.
