The First Person Singular
The First Person Singular | Haruki Murakami
9 posts | 12 read | 8 to read
A mind-bending new collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed, Haruki Murakami. The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator may or may not be Murakami himself. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides. Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory. . . all with a signature Murakami twist.

I enjoyed this collection of stories. They feel personal, which makes them more intriguing. Exquisite on music, slightly problematic on women (still portrayed as objects of desire or not rather than equals, friends or colleagues) but always interesting. I love his easy, conversational writing style & the way it turns from mundane to dreamy & raises questions about human nature. The sense of curiosity and love of music & baseball are endearing.

Whenever I read Haruki Murakami, i feel I am another world. All the stories are different, out of this world. In his world everything is strange, yet normal.
