Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman is Haruki Murakami's second compilation of 25 fascinating short stories. Included in the vintage edition of the novel is an introduction by Murakami. This is exciting for any fan of his works. Murakami tells readers of the process of his novel and short story writing and also explains how he often finds writing short stories much more exciting than novels: "I find writing novels a challenge, writing stories a joy. If writing novels is like planting a forest, then writing short stories is more like planting a garden". Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman is Murakami at his very best. A mixture of romance, horror, comedy and drama these stories are deliciously wound together with a combination of both complex and simple plot lines and undecipherable symbolism. A haunting mirror, romantic getaway, talking monkeys, and reminissing the good old days are some of the stories that can be found. Full of wisdom, passion, and mysticism this novel lives up to the highest of expectations.
