Each book has its own stunning cover. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: two remarkable short novels--\u003ci\u003eHear the Wind Sing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePinball, 1973\u003c\/i\u003e--that launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of age--the unnamed narrator and his friend the Rat--are stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakami's later books, and form the first two-thirds, with \u003ci\u003eA Wild Sheep Chase\u003c\/i\u003e, of the trilogy of the Rat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Widely available in English for the first time ever, newly translated, and featuring a new introduction by Murakami himself, \u003ci\u003eWind\/Pinball\u003c\/i\u003e gives us a fascinating insight into a great writer's beginnings.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball | Haruki Murakami | Paperback | 9780804170147 | New | Fiction 1559550","offer_id":50581893284098,"sku":"1559550","price":36.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81wXpoUcjRL.jpg?v=1791011149","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/hear-the-wind-sing-and-pinball","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
