Haruki Murakami applies his talents of observation to the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone in seven stories. Doctors in love, students, ex-boyfriends, actresses, bartenders, and even Kafka's Gregor Samsa have all been brought together to tell stories that speak to us all. Murakami has created another contemporary classic in Men Without Women, which is distinguished by the same caustic humor and pathos that have defined his whole body of work.
