Book Summary
Wind/Pinball is a two-in-one volume that brings together Haruki Murakami’s first two novels: Hear the Wind Sing (1979) and Pinball, 1973 (1980). These early works introduce Murakami’s signature themes—loneliness, nostalgia, and the surreal—through a nameless narrator and his friend, the Rat. In Hear the Wind Sing, the narrator reflects on youth, love, and life’s quiet absurdities during a summer break in a small town. Pinball, 1973 continues the story, exploring the narrator’s mundane life as a translator and his obsession with a pinball machine from his past. Though more experimental and raw than Murakami’s later novels, these stories lay the groundwork for his distinctive style, blending philosophical reflection with offbeat humor and emotional depth.

About the Author:
Haruki Murakami is a globally acclaimed Japanese author known for his surreal, emotionally resonant novels that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Born in Kyoto in 1949, Murakami began writing in his late twenties and gained international fame with works like Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore, and 1Q84. His writing often explores themes of alienation, memory, music, and the subconscious, influenced by both Western literature and Japanese culture. Murakami’s style—marked by simple prose, dreamlike narratives, and metaphysical elements—has earned him a devoted global readership. He is also a translator of American authors like Raymond Carver and J.D. Salinger, and has been repeatedly mentioned as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
