### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A history lesson in short stories
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020*

Stories with marvelous twists and turns. Some good, some surprising, some bad.  The good and surprising make up for the bad. I loved reading about the impact of the Atom bomb on the lives of those who lived during that horrendously dark time in humanity. It gave me  a real  feeling of what innocent people went through because of the arrogance of those in power, and a sense of sadness that it is hardly mentioned in the west since it happened, almost like a non event. It is a pity that history like this is not taught in schools.

    Outstanding collection
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019*

This a wonderful collection of short stories and the editor (Jay Rubin) did a good job of organizing the short stories into various categories.  Murakami Haruki did a good job with his introduction (as well as his two short stories included).  I read this on my I phone normally waiting while my wife shopped or I had a few moments to kill waiting for someone.  I had no problem reading the e version of the stories.  As another reviewer stated there is no need to read these stories in order (and in fact I did not do this I picked stories at first based on length and interest from the title).  I enjoyed reading these stories and highly recommend this collection.

    interetsing and skillfully edited collection
  

*by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018*

You don't need to read this from beginning to end.  It is not a conventional collection of stories that should be rushed through. You can read the stories of this book in any order. Take your time. Jay Rubin did an excellent job editing this collection using interesting topic headings such as: NATURE AND MEMORY, MODERN LIFE AND OTHER NONSENSE, and DREAD. Murakami has written a worthy and interesting introduction.  Excellent book!
