A dazzling new collection of short stories--the first major new work of fiction from the beloved, internationally acclaimed, Haruki Murakami since his #1 best-selling Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage.

Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are vanishing cats and smoky bars, lonely hearts and mysterious women, baseball and the Beatles, woven together to tell stories that speak to us all.

Marked by the same wry humor that has defined his entire body of work, in this collection Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic.

一部令人眼花缭乱的新短篇小说集--这是自村上春树最畅销的《无色的太宰治和他的朝圣岁月》以来，深受喜爱、享誉国际的村上春树的第一部重要的新小说作品。

在七个故事中，村上春树用他的观察力来描述那些以自己的方式发现自己孤独的人的生活。这里有消失的猫和烟雾缭绕的酒吧，孤独的心和神秘的女人，棒球和披头士乐队，它们交织在一起，讲述着与我们所有人有关的故事。

村上的这本小说集以其全部作品中的幽默感为标志，精心打造了另一部当代经典。
