Wind/Pinball: Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973 (Two Novels) (Vintage International)

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Wind/Pinball, a unique two-in-one volume, includes, on one side, Murakamiâ€™s first novelÂ Hear the Wind Sing. When you flip the book over, you can read his second novel,Â Pinball, 1973. Each book has its own stunning cover.

In the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: two remarkable short novelsâ€”Hear the Wind SingÂ andÂ Pinball, 1973â€”that launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time.

These powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of ageâ€”the unnamed narrator and his friend the Ratâ€”are stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakamiâ€™s later books, and form the first two-thirds, withÂ A Wild Sheep Chase, of theÂ trilogy of the Rat.Â

Widely available in English for the first time ever, newly translated, and featuring a new introduction by Murakami himself,Â Wind/PinballÂ gives us a fascinating insight into a great writerâ€™s beginnings.
