Publisher's Synopsis
NOW A BAFTA AND OSCAR-WINNING FILM
Discover the inspiration for the Academy-Award®-winning major motion picture from Japan's master storyteller, Haruki Murakami.
In this short story from Murakami's bestselling collection, Men Without Women, a widowed actor hires a twenty-year-old woman to be his chauffeur. Despite her reserved nature, the actor finds comfort in her stable presence, and a friendship blossoms as they slowly reveal their pasts. Crafted with delicacy and precision, Drive My Car is a meditative exploration of the need for human connection and our innate desire to be understood - even when we least expect it.
