Hubiera preferido encontrar una traducción al castellano, porque Lourdes Porta, quién suele traducir los libros de este autor, escribe fantásticamente, pero todavía no está publicado y la impaciencia me pudo. Siento curiosidad por ver como se desenvuelve Murakami en las distancias cortas.  membrillu | Oct 30, 2009 |  Este libro es una recopilación de cuentos de Haruki Murakami escritos entre 1981 y 2005.

It may hae been the non-lyrical nature of the narrator, which is always a risk with an audiobook. However, in this instance, I just think the stories were uninteresting to me. The translated interview with Murakami at the beginning of the audiobook was delightful. That helped a lot. (  ) hemlokgang | Oct 6, 2009 | I've found this book pretty boring. I'm glad I've finished it, at last. His novels are a lot better. ( ) helka | Sep 22, 2009 | This book blows me away. Despite the short story format, Blind Willow, Weeping Woman took me a while to get through. Murakami's writing is thought provoking and I continually found myself pausing after each story to contemplate what each one really meant. Although I'm sure that my interpretations fall short of what Murakami really intended, what each person finds in these stories says just as much as the plot itself. (  ) Mieux | Aug 7, 2009 | 
 Just as fiction that is purely mundane can be, well, mundane, fiction that is only fantastic is often only dull. Authors such as Paul Auster and Jonathan Carroll are successful precisely because they don't write in one mode or the other, but rather in both, and at the same time. By placing the mundane next to the fantastic these authors are able to show us the beauty of such everyday affairs as coffee or conversation; by placing the fantastic next to the mundane they provide the contrast necessary for readers to discern what makes their fancy other than facile. No one does this better than Haruki Murakami . . . .
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 140015295X, MP3 CD)Following the best-selling triumph of Kafka on the Shore, comes a collection that generously expresses Murakami's mastery. From the surreal to the mundane, these stories exhibit his ability to transform the full range of human experience in ways that are instructive, surprising, and relentlessly entertaining. As Richard Eder has written in the Los Angeles Times Book Review, "He addresses the fantastic and the natural, each with the same mix of gravity and lightness."(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:10 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
