MEDIA REVIEWS
How does Murakami manage to make poetry while writing of contemporary life and emotions I am weak-kneed with admirationImagine our joy when Vintage announced that it is publishing a collection of easily digestible books from the world's most celebrated writers on the experiences that make us human... They look good and read well. That's win/win in our book.
