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.These powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of age-the unnamed narrator and his friend the Rat-are stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakamis later books, and form the first two-thirds, with A Wild Sheep Chase, of the trilogy of the Rat.Widely 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 writers beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819391123744,"sku":"NEW0385352123","price":24.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71upIcu-7PL.jpg?v=1781131696","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/windpinball-two-novels-0385352123","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
