Publisher's Synopsis
The first two short novels by the internationally acclaimed writer, newly translated, in one volume, with a new introduction by the author.
Wind/Pinball brings together the two first novels-Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973-by the legendary Haruki Murakami. Written at his kitchen table in the hours before dawn, these remarkable short works-powerful, at times surreal, stories about two young men coming of age-launched the career of one of the most celebrated authors of our time. Bearing all the hallmarks of Murakami's later books, Wind/Pinball gives readers a fascinating insight into a great writer's beginnings.
