" NATIONAL BESTSELLER &bull, Including the story Drive My Car&rdquo,mdash,ow an Academy Award &ndash,ominated film&mdash,his collection from the internationally acclaimed author examines what happens to characters without important women in their lives,it'll move you and confuse you and sometimes leave you with more questions than answers (Barack Obama). Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are lovesick doctors, students, ex-boyfriends, actors, bartenders, and even Kafka&rsquo, Gregor Samsa, brought together to tell stories that speak to us all. In Men Without Women Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic, marked by the same wry humor and pathos that have defined his entire body of work."

Biographisches: "Haruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo. His work has been translated into more than fifty languages, and the most recent of his many international honors is the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award, whose previous recipients include J. K. Rowling, Isabel Allende, and Salman Rushdie." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:There is a precision and care in Kirby Heyborne's narration of this audiobook that is well suited to the collection. As the title suggests, each of these seven stories paints a portrait of a man who finds himself, one way or another, alone. Heyborne skillfully manages to make each story part of the cohesive themed group, and a unique snapshot of humanity. The spare, clean quality of his performance makes this collection inherently listenable for all types of audiences. His voice spans the divide between coolly aloof and warmly compassionate. The stories are deep enough to appeal to lovers of novels, but the recording will appeal to those looking for a light listen, too. L.B.F. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine"
