Powell's Picks of the Month

Hot new releases and under-the-radar gems for adults and kids.


Staff Pick

In Men Without Women, Murakami's first collection of short stories in several years, the master storyteller continues his exploration of love, loneliness, slightly alternate realities, and (of course) cats. Dryly funny, surreal, and bewitching, these seven tales are classic Murakami. Recommended By Jill O., Powells.com

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments

Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are lovesick doctors, students, ex-boyfriends, actors, bartenders, and even Kafka’s Gregor Samsa, brought together to tell stories that speak to us all. In Men Without Women Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic, marked by the same wry humor and pathos that have defined his entire body of work.

Review

"Murakami’s greatest strength is his creation of environments just eccentric enough to wrong-foot you — not exactly magical realism, but perhaps enigmatic realism....When his writing is at its best, his characters act as a fisheye lens through which to scrutinize a slightly off-kilter world that surrounds them." The New Republic

Review

"Affecting....Murakami is a master of the open-ended mystery....His meandering, mesmerizing tales of profound alienation are driven by puzzling circumstances that neither his characters nor readers can crack — recalling existentialist Gabriel Marcel’s assertion that 'Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be experienced.'" The Washington Post

Review

"Time and again in these seven stories, Murakami displays his singular genius." Los Angeles Times

Review

"Classic Murakami....[His] voice — cool, poised, witty, characterized by a peculiar blend of whimsy and poignancy, wit and profundity — hasn’t lost its power to unsettle even as it amuses." The Boston Globe

Review

"[A] beguilingly irresistible book. Like a lost lover, it holds on tight long after the affair is over." The New York Times Book Review

About the Author
