Wind/Pinball

In the spring of 1978, Haruki Murakami began his literary journey with two compelling short novels, Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973, which explore themes of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism through the lives of two young men. These works not only mark the debut of one of today's most celebrated authors but also showcase the distinctive style that characterizes his later writings. Newly translated and available in English for the first time, Wind/Pinball includes a fresh introduction by Murakami, offering readers a unique glimpse into his creative origins.
