{"product_id":"wind-pinball-two-novels-1","title":"Wind\/Pinball: Two novels","description":"NATIONAL BESTSELLER\n\nIn the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: two remarkable short novels—Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973—that launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time.\n\nThese 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 A Wild Sheep Chase, of the trilogy of the Rat.\n\nWidely available in English for the first time ever, newly translated, and featuring a new introduction by Murakami himself, Wind\/Pinball gives us a fascinating insight into a great writer’s beginnings.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0385352123\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0385352123.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Murakami, Haruki|Goossen, Ted\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
