Özet
A young man accompanies his cousin to the hospital to check an unusual hearing complaint and recalls a story of a woman put to sleep by tiny flies crawling inside her ear; a mirror appears out of nowhere and a night watchman is unnerved as his reflection tries to take control of him; a couple's relationship is unbalanced after dining exclusively on exquisite crab while on holiday; a man follows instructions on the back of a postcard to apply for a job, but an unknown password stands between him and his mysterious employer.

In each one of these stories, Haruki Murakami sidesteps the real and sprints for the surreal. Everyday events are transcended, leaving the reader dazzled by this master of his craft. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman is Murakami's most eclectic collection of stories to date, spanning five years of his writing.

Having read Norwegian Wood, and being a fan of Surrealism in general, I was excited to read some of Murakami’s neo-Surrealist works. I greatly enjoyed them. The narrators were somewhat of a mixed bag, however. A couple of them like to use accents (at times for no discernible reason), and usually, they aren’t very good at it. The older lady, for example, uses a US Southern accent for all her American characters, and it doesn’t make sense. Why would Americans living in Hawaii have a Southern drawl?! I can only conclude that that’s the only American accent she can do, in which case she should probably just skip it.

Amazing neo-Surrealist work, somewhat weird narration

I prefer Murakami's full length novels to his short stories, though there are a couple of medium sized tales in this collection and I enjoyed those.

Not one of my favourites

I like how the music plays , a dramatised edition of one of murakami’ books would be really good

Thus is a rather odd collection of stories. They share Murakami's sense of the unlikely coinincidence ir the magical in a real world. some of them were touching, but I found them inconsistent. As a fan of Murakami I expected more. though I enjoyed some of the passages I was left with a slight sense of disappointment.

a mixed bunch
