Desire Vintage Minis

A small and very short collection of Murakamis best short stories about desire. Features “The Second Bakery Attack” “On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful april morning”, “Birthday Girl”, “Samsa in Love” and “ A folklore for my generation: A prehistory of late stage capitalism”. All of these stories are fascinating, thoughtprovoking and touch upon what makes us human.

haruki murakami is such a brilliant author, before I got more known with his writing a has ‘scared’ of reading his books because I didn’t want to not be able to understand something, after I read some of his short stories I got to understand him better. So that’s why i would recommend to start reading this book if you plan on getting deeper into his world. To the book itself: freaking amazing. Murakami is touching a lot of perspectives of live along with humanity itself, and the way he writes is just to imaginable, really crazy. My favourite short story would have to be the one with the title going like ‘the 100% girl’ (I’m sorry I forgot the full name)
