When you flip the book over, you can read his second novel, \u003ci\u003ePinball, 1973\u003c\/i\u003e. Each book has its own stunning cover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of age - the unnamed narrator and his friend the Rat 0- 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidely 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.","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42858297983056,"sku":"9780804170147B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/wind-pinball-hear-the-wind-sing-pinball-1973-two-novels-9780804170147b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
