Why read it?
1 author picked First Person Singular as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
You could tell me it's just a grocery list, but if it was written by Murakami, I would read it anyway. I have devoured every book he has written.
This one is a series of short stories, and I believe all of them are older. It is a collection of stories he has written earlier in his career. As a musician, I especially identify with Murakami and the way he talks about music in his work.
The story Charlie Parker Plays the Bossa Nova is enough to have you in laughing and crying at the same time.
