Many of the surviving characters from The Virgin Soldiers live again in these pages: dogged Tasker, the odious Sergeant Wellbeloved, the vulnerable Colonel Bromley Pickering and the comically touching Juicy Lucy.

"Pinball 1973" handelt von einem jungen Mann, der in Tokio lebt, während sein Freund "Ratte", bereits bekannt aus "Wenn der Wind singt", immer noch in "J.'s Bar" darauf wartet, dass das Leben losgeht. Ein melancholischer, atmosphärisch dichter Roman, der zudem die wohl besten Flipperszenen der Literaturgeschichte enthält. Nach langem Zögern hat Haruki Murakami die Bitten seiner Fangemeinde erhört und der Veröffentlichung dieses außerhalb Japans nie erschienenen Frühwerks zugestimmt.

Vor 25 Jahren schrieb Ildikó von Kürthy ihren ersten Roman: "Mondscheintarif" war ein Kultbuch! Nun ist die Heldin von damals, Cora Hübsch, zurück. Das ist zu viel. Der Container ist voll, das letzte Kind aus dem Haus, die Ehe öde, und etliche Fragen sind offen, auf die ich immer noch keine Antwort weiß. Ich heiße Cora Hübsch, und mir fallen mein leeres Leben und der Karton mit Altpapier vor die Füße. Im Dickicht aus Zetteln, Zeitungen und Selbstmitleid finde ich ein vergilbtes Buch voller handbeschriebener Seiten: mein Tagebuch, "Mondscheintarif".

Szeretném elmondani, mi történt a polgári műveltséggel a tíz évben, amelynek kezdetét az osztrák függetlenség megszűntének, az Anschluss-nak napja jelenti. Azon a napon omlott össze sok minden, ami a régi Európából megmaradt.

Während der Sitzungen entwickelt sich allmählich ein vertrautes Verhältnis zwischen dem Ich-Erzähler und seinem Modell. Marie ist eine aufmerksame Beobachterin, und so hat sie vieles, was sich rund um das Haus des Malers abspielt, bemerkt. Eines Tages ist Marie verschwunden. Der Ich-Erzähler ist überzeugt davon, dass es einen Zusammenhang gibt zwischen ihrem Verschwinden und dem Gemälde "Die Ermordung des Commendatore".
