Coming this October: Killing Commendatore, the much-anticipated new novel from Haruki MurakamiVintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the greatest modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions.“Murakami’s bold willingness to go straight over the top is a signal indication of his genius. . . . A world-class writer who has both eyes open and takes big risks.” —The Washington Post Book WorldNot since Yukio Mishima and Yasunari Kawabata has a Japanese writer won the international acclaim enjoyed by Haruki Murakami. His genre-busting novels, short stories and reportage, which have been translated into 35 languages, meld the surreal and the hard-boiled, deadpan comedy and delicate introspection.Vintage Murakami includes the opening chapter of the international bestseller Norwegian Wood- “Lieutenant Mamiya’s Long Story: Parts I and II” from his monumental novel The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle- “Shizuko Akashi” from Underground, his non-fiction book on the Toyko subway attack of 1995- and the short stories “Barn Burning,” “Honeypie.”Also included, for the first time in book form, the short story, “Ice Man.”
