desertcart.com: Men Without Women: Stories (Vintage International): 9781101974520: Murakami, Haruki, Gabriel, Philip, Goossen, Ted: Books

Review: Aberrant tales only Murakami could have written - Haruki Murakami once said in an interview that he wanted to be “a writer who tells stories like no other writer.” He succeeds brilliantly in Men Without Women. The first story, “Drive My Car,” might be my favorite. Oddly, it has none of the dreamlike quality of so much of Murakami’s writing. A fairly straightforward narrative, it derives its charm from its quirky characters. I sense Shakespearean overtones and philosophical probings, but maybe that’s just me. Anyway, it’s wonderful. All the characters in these stories are intriguing — a promiscuous and suddenly lovesick plastic surgeon, a nurse who believes she was a lamprey eel in a past life, a quiet man (possibly yakuza)who reads books while drinking in a bar, a man whose three ex-girlfriends committed suicide (he hopes it’s nothing he did)... “Samsa in love” borrows a Kafka character and is, not surprisingly, Kafkaesque. But Murakami rescues Samsa with a delightfully hopeful twist. I loved this story. Despite the title of this book, the collection is rich women and love stories. The last story in the book provides it with its title. Murakami is a fabulous prose stylist. His writing is Japanese in its purity and restraint, but jazz-like in its playful bursts of metaphor. All this combined with an aberrant imagination makes for a reading experience like no other.
Review: Men without women - Love this book. I’m a big fan of Haruki Murakami. Very interesting and different stories.

Love this book. I’m a big fan of Haruki Murakami. Very interesting and different stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I welcome the introspection
*by R***R on August 23, 2025*

As a man, without a woman, this title intrigued me. But what lead me to Haruki Murakami was a woman I briefly chatted with from a dating site as we exchanged books of authors we were currently reading. So this is my very first Haruki Murakami book I’ve read and I have to say, it’s fitting, for me. I enjoyed this book, very much. I identified with some aspects of these men (I’m sure most men do) from each story. I would have loved to narrate this book. Thank you Haruki Murakami. You have a new fan. More importantly, thank you to the woman who introduced me to you. Regards, L
