East Asian Literary Fiction

Men Without Women

by Ted Goossen

Seven stories of solitary men navigating absence—widowers, divorcés, the quietly bereft—after the women who anchored their lives have gone. Murakami examines loneliness and disorientation with his signature precision and strangeness, leaving questions suspended in air. Includes 'Drive My Car,' now an Academy Award-nominated film.
