this was a collection that I enjoyed quite a bit in comparison some to some other ones because the stories were longer I don't know if I'll ever fully Embrace his short fiction at least with the love that I have for his novels but I enjoyed my time with this one and this is a short story collection of his that I do recommend
Men Without Women (2017)
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Including the story "Drive My Car”—now an Academy Award–nominated film—this 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’s 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.
Men Without Women, but this time his observation skills are just out in full glory. He is like the epitome of the male gaze. He always writes from a very masculine perspective and his female characters are ridiculous.
i liked some of the stories there are seven i think stories in this collection i remember really liking two or three of them
i've also read a collection of his short stories called men without women that one was all right
Some I clearly thought I liked more than I did but if their two stars are below when I read them I have to get rid of them because that means I didn't like the process of reading them so I’m just going to show you what they are briefly.
