Birthday Stories: Selected and Introduced by Haruki Murakami by Haruki Murakami

3.0

I still don't think I know the best way to enjoy short stories. I often find myself wondering what was the point it all? And even after reading numerous theories online, I still don't find them lingering in my thoughts randomly nor I get a fascinating/thrilling escape.

This collection was enjoyable, the introductions by Murakami were quite helpful in guiding a short story noob like me. All the stories were well written, but as with most things in life, I enjoyed a few more than the rest. At the core of it all is a birthday. But what surrounds it is supremely diverse.

More details on this collection, yet to come.
