"The debut short novels--nearly thirty years out of print-- by the internationally acclaimed writer, newly retranslated and in one English-language volume for the first time, with a new introduction by the author. These first major works of fiction by Haruki Murakami center on two young men--an unnamed narrator and his friend and former roommate, the Rat. Powerful, at times surreal, stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism, these novellas bear all the hallmarks of Murakami's later books, giving us a fascinating insight into a great writer's beginnings, and are remarkable works of fiction in their own right. Here too is an exclusive essay by Murakami in which he explores and explains his decision to become a writer. Prequels to the much-beloved classics A Wild Sheep Chase and Dance Dance Dance, these early works are essential reading for Murakami completists and contemporary fiction lovers alike"--… (més)
Usuari anònim: I got a very similar vibe in how this particular book was written compared to a lot of Kurt Vonnegut's works. Slapstick, or Lonesome No More is probably the closest in to Wind/Pinball's content that I have read as its less Sci-Fi and more general fiction.

Most people - by which I mean most of us who are part of Japanese society - graduate from school, then find work, then, after some time has passed, get married. (An Introduction to Two Short Novels)
"There's no such thing as a perfect piece of writing. Just as there's no such thing as perfect despair." (Hear the Wind Sing)
I enjoyed listening to stories about faraway places so much that it became a kind of sickness. (Pinball, 1973)

Il romanzo del Sorcio aveva due punti buoni. Primo, non c'erano scene di sesso. Secondo, nessuno moriva. Tanto si sa che gli uomini vanno a letto con le donne, e muoiono. Quindi che bisogno c'è di ricordarglielo con un libro?
Detesto le menzogne. Si può affermare che le menzogne e il silenzio sono le due colpe più gravi della società attuale. Eppure mentiamo spesso, e spesso restiamo in silenzio. Ma se dicessimo sempre e solo la verità, forse il valore della verità si perderebbe.
Intorno alla fermata le luci iniziarono ad accendersi, gli autobus si incrociavano come gigantesche trote che salissero e scendessero la corrente.
Tennessee Williams una volta scrisse: «Il passato e il presente sono quelli che sono, del futuro possiamo solo dire che è "probabile"». Eppure, quando ci voltiamo a guardare il buio sentiero già percorso, riusciamo solo a distinguere un instabile «può darsi». L'unico momento chiaramente visibile è il presente, e anche quello ci passa solo accanto.
Each day was a carbon copy of the last. You needed a bookmark to tell one from the other.
