Summary

"Some novelists hold a mirror up to the world and some， like Haruki Murakami， use the mirror as a portal to a universe hidden beyond it。" --The Wall Street Journal

A mind-bending new collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami。

The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator。 From memories of youth， meditations on music， and an ardent love of baseball， to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums， together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world。 Occasionally， a narrator may or may not be Murakami himself。 Is it memoir or fiction？ The reader decides。

Philosophical and mysterious， the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude， childhood and memory。 。 。 all with a signature Murakami twist。

Teodora ，

In some way， it felt comforting to come back to Murakami。 * * *"At nineteen， I knew nothing about the inner workings of my own heart， let alone the hearts of others。 Still， I thought I had a pretty good grasp of how happiness and sadness worked。 What I couldn't yet grasp were the myriad phenomenon that lay in the space between happiness and sadness， how they related to each other。 As a result， I often felt anxious and helpless。""Many years have passed since then。 Strangely enough （or perhaps not In some way， it felt comforting to come back to Murakami。 * * *"At nineteen， I knew nothing about the inner workings of my own heart， let alone the hearts of others。 Still， I thought I had a pretty good grasp of how happiness and sadness worked。 What I couldn't yet grasp were the myriad phenomenon that lay in the space between happiness and sadness， how they related to each other。 As a result， I often felt anxious and helpless。""Many years have passed since then。 Strangely enough （or perhaps not so strangely）， people age in the blink of an eye。 Each and every moment， our bodies are on a one-way journey to collapse and deterioration， unable to turn back the clock。 I close my eyes， I open them again， only to realize that in the interim so many things have vanished。 Buffeted by the intense midnight winds， these things - some with names， some without - disappear without a trace。 All that is left is a faint memory。 Even memory， though， can hardly be relied on。 Can anyone say for certain what really happened to us back then？If we're blessed， though， a few words might remain by our side。 They climb to the top of the hill during the night， crawl into small holes dug to fit the shape of their bodies， stay quite still， and let the stormy winds of time blow past。 The dawn finally breaks， the wild wind subsides， and the surviving words quietly peek out from the surface。 For the most part they have small voices - they are shy and only have ambiguous ways of expressing themselves。 Even so， they are ready to serve as witnesses。 As honest， fair witnesses。 But in order to create those enduring， long-suffering words， or else to find them and leave them behind， you must sacrifice， unconditionally， your own body， your very own heart。 You have to lay down your neck on a cold stone pillow illuminated by the winter moon。"（From "On a Stone Pillow"）* * *"Morning light， I assumed。 Fresh， honest light that was still free of any superfluous meaning。""How to describe that music？ Looking back on it， this music Bird played just for me in my dream felt less like a stream of sound than like a momentary， total irradiation。 I can vividly remember the music being there。 But I can't reproduce it。 With time， it's faded away， like the inability to describe the design of a mandala。 What I can say is that it was music that reached to the deep recesses of my soul， all the way down to the very core。 I was certain that kind of music existed in the world - music that made you feel like something in the very structure of your body had been reconfigured， ever so slightly， now that you'd experienced it。" （From "Charlie Parker Plays Bossa Nova"）* * *"There's one girl - a woman who used to be a girl， I mean - whom I remember well。 I don't know her name， though。 And， naturally， I don't know where she is now or what she's doing。 What I do know about her is that she went to the same high school as I did， and was in the same year （since the badge on her shirt was the same color as mine）， and that she really liked the Beatles。 Other than that， I know nothing about her。This was in 1964， at the height of Beatlemania。 It was early autumn。 The new school semester had began and things were starting to fall into routine again。 She was hurrying down the long， dim hallway of the old school building， her skirt fluttering。 I was the only person there。 She was clutching an LP to her chest as if it were something precious。 The LP With the Beatles。 The one with the striking black-and-white photograph of the four Beatles in half shadow。 For some reason， I'm not sure why， I have a clear memory that it was the original， British version of the album， not the American or the Japanese version。 She was a beautiful girl。 At least， to me then， she looked gorgeous。 She wasn't tall， but she had long black hair， slim legs， and a lovely fragrance。 （That could be a false memory， I don't know。 Maybe she didn't give off any scent at all。 But that's what I remember， as if， when she passed， an enchanting， alluring fragrance wafted in my direction。）（。。。） All this took only ten or fifteen seconds。 It was over before I knew it， and the critical message contained there， like the core of all dreams， disappeared。 A dimly lit hallway in a high school， a beautiful girl， the hem of her skirt swirling， "With the Beatles。That was the only time I saw that girl。""What pulled me in was the vision of that girl clutching the album as if it were something priceless。 Take away the photograph on the album cover and the scene might not have bewitched me as it did。 There was the music， for sure。 But there was something else， something far bigger。 And， in an instant， that tableau was etched in my heart - a kind of spiritual landscape that could be found only there， at a set age， and at a set moment in time。""I've heard it said that the happiest time in our lives is the period when pop songs mean something to us， really get to us。 It may be true。 Or maybe not。 Pop songs may， after all， be nothing but pop songs。 And perhaps our lives are merely decorative， expendable items， a burst of fleeting color and nothing more。""I never saw that lovely young girl again， the one who was holding the LP With the Beatles。 Sometimes I wonder - is she still hurrying down that dimly lit high school hallway in 1964， the hem of her skirt fluttering as she goes？ Sixteen even now， holding that wonderful album cover with the half-lit photo of John， Paul， George， and Ringo， clutching it tightly as though her life depended on it。"（From "With the Beatles"）* * *" - Inner delusions and outer reality were intertwined in him [Robert Schumann]。 "Carnaval" was an early work， so the evil spirits of his weren't showing their faces clearly yet。 Since the piece is about the carnival festival， it's full of figures wearing cheerful-looking masks， but this was not merely some happy carnival。 Ultimately the evil spirits lurking within him do make an appearance in the piece， one after the others， as if introduced for a moment， wearing happy carnival masks。 All around them， ominous early-spring wind is blowing。 Meat， dripping with blood， is served to everyone。 Carnival is literally the festival of thankfulness for meat， and a farewell to it， as Lend begins。 That's exactly the kind of music it is。- So the performer has to express， musically， both the mask and the face that lies beneath it for all the characters ho appear。 Is that what you're saying？， I asked。She nodded。- That's right。 That's exactly right。 If you can't express that sentiment， then what's the point in performing it？ The piece is the ideal of playful music， but within that playfulness， you can catch a glimpse of the specters lurking inside the psyche。 The playful sounds lure them out of the darkness。""These were both nothing more than a pair of minor incidents that happened in my trivial little life。 Short side trips along the way。 Even if they hadn't happened， I doubt my life would have wound up much different from what it is now。 But still， these memories return to me sometimes， traveling down a very long passageway to arrive。 And when they do， their unexpected power shakes me to the core。 Like an autumn wind that gusts the night， swirling fallen leaves in a forest， flattening the pampas grass in fields， and pounding hard on the doors to people's homes， over and over again。"（From "Carnaval"）* * *On an unrelated note， I also feel compelled to share that the book includes a poem Haruki Murakami wrote about outfielders' butts。 。。。more

Nobleza obliga reconocer la auténtica y muy buena forma de escribir que tiene Murakami。 Habiendo aclarado esto， no me gustó el contenido de los relatos y definitivamente es un autor que no volvería a leer。 Por eso el 3 es más un 2，5。Los relatos que rescato son "Áspera piedra， fría almohada" y "Charlie Parker plays bossa nova"， el primero invita a una reflexión filosófica de una forma de lo más original y el de Charlie Parker me parece una experiencia contada con una picardía muy atractiva。Noté b Nobleza obliga reconocer la auténtica y muy buena forma de escribir que tiene Murakami。 Habiendo aclarado esto， no me gustó el contenido de los relatos y definitivamente es un autor que no volvería a leer。 Por eso el 3 es más un 2，5。Los relatos que rescato son "Áspera piedra， fría almohada" y "Charlie Parker plays bossa nova"， el primero invita a una reflexión filosófica de una forma de lo más original y el de Charlie Parker me parece una experiencia contada con una picardía muy atractiva。Noté bastante pedantería en varios de los relatos que componen este libro， especialmente en With The Beatles y Primera persona del singular。 Creo que es una lectura recomendable para quienes ya conocen al autor y/o disfrutan del absurdo… Claramente no es mi caso。 。。。more

Maybe it’s devotion to the author， maybe it’s that I haven’t had new material from him to read in a long while， but Haruki Murakami’s latest series of short stories fired on all cylinders。There are a grip of short story collections by Murakami， and most of them have at least one story I’m not entirely impressed by， but all 8 included here were all good， with some of them being great， and a few even outright excellent。 My two favorites were Charlie Parker Plays Bossa Nova and Confessions of a Shi Maybe it’s devotion to the author， maybe it’s that I haven’t had new material from him to read in a long while， but Haruki Murakami’s latest series of short stories fired on all cylinders。There are a grip of short story collections by Murakami， and most of them have at least one story I’m not entirely impressed by， but all 8 included here were all good， with some of them being great， and a few even outright excellent。 My two favorites were Charlie Parker Plays Bossa Nova and Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey。 All the stories included in this book are told through a first person perspective （hence the title）， and that remained interesting from start to finish。 They all served to be individual meditations on life from various perspectives。 One of the later entries was directly told from Haruki’s perspective， which was a nice treat。 Highly recommended if you’re a fan， or even if not。 His short story collections can be an easy way to get small bites of his writing style to see if it’s for you， and this one ranks up there with The Elephant Vanishes and Men Without Women。 。。。more

I loved this short story collection！ As with any Murakami， his world building is immaculate。 All of the stories feed into each other and it feels just slightly autobiographical。 Some of the stories are better than others but i personally my favourites are ‘Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey’ & ‘Cream’！ The only reason this gets 4 stars from me is the way he describes women。 The characters always seem a little one dimensional & he over-sexualises them。 But that’s an issue I have with his writing p I loved this short story collection！ As with any Murakami， his world building is immaculate。 All of the stories feed into each other and it feels just slightly autobiographical。 Some of the stories are better than others but i personally my favourites are ‘Confessions of a Shinagawa Monkey’ & ‘Cream’！ The only reason this gets 4 stars from me is the way he describes women。 The characters always seem a little one dimensional & he over-sexualises them。 But that’s an issue I have with his writing pretty consistently。 。。。more

Interesująca。 Może dlatego， że lubię literaturę japońską。。。 Murakami ma specyficzny styl pisania， choć wiele osób na niego narzeka。Polecam lekturę <3Interesting。 Maybe because I like Japanese literature。。。Murakami has a specific writing style， although many people complain about it。 I recommend reading <3
