书籍简介

一个年轻人陪他的表妹去医院检查一个不寻常的听力问题，并回忆起一个女人被小苍蝇在耳朵里爬来爬去的故事；一面镜子突然出现，一个守夜人因为他的倒影试图控制他而感到不安；一对夫妇在度假时只吃了精致的螃蟹，关系变得不平衡；一个人按照明信片背面的指示去申请一份工作，但一个未知的密码挡在他和神秘的雇主之间。在每一个故事中，村上都避开了现实，向超现实冲刺。日常事件被超越，让读者对这位大师的作品感到目不暇接。

《盲柳，睡女》是村上迄今为止不拘一格的故事集，跨越了他五年的写作生涯。介绍中解释了作者选择的多样性。 

A young man accompanies his cousin to the hospital to check an unusual hearing complaint and recalls a story of a woman put to sleep by tiny flies crawling inside her ear; a mirror appears out of nowhere and a nightwatchman is unnerved as his reflection tries to take control of him; a couple's relationship is unbalanced after dining exclusively on exquisite crab while on holiday; a man follows instructions on the back of a postcard to apply for a job, but an unknown password stands between him and his mysterious employer. In each one of these stories Murakami sidesteps the real and sprints for the surreal. Everyday events are transcended, leaving the reader dazzled by this master of his craft.

Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman is Murakami's most eclectic collection of stories to date, spanning five years of his writing. An introduction explains the diversity of the author's choice.

作者简介

1978年，29岁的村上春树在东京市中心经营一家爵士酒吧。 4月的一天，他在观看棒球比赛时，突然产生了写小说的冲动。 第一部小说《听风吟》(Hear the Wind Sing)获得了新文学奖，并于第二年出版。 随后，村上春树又出版了《追羊记》、《世界尽头与冷酷仙境》等多部作品，但1987年出版的《挪威的森林》让村上春树从一个作家变成了一个现象级作家。 他的书成为畅销书，被翻译成包括英语在内的多种语言，村上春树独特而令人上瘾的虚构世界的大门敞开着。  

村上春树以令人钦佩的纪律性写作，每天写十页，之后他会跑十公里(他从1982年开始长跑，并参加了无数马拉松和比赛)，翻译，然后阅读、听唱片和烹饪。 他的激情为他的非小说作品——从《当我谈论跑步时》(What I Talk About When I Talk About Running)到《绝对在音乐上》(Absolutely On Music)——注入了色彩，它们也渗透到他的小说和短篇故事中，为他的想象力探索提供了日常时刻，而在其他方面，他的想象力探索无拘无束。 在《奇鸟编年史》、《1Q84》和《没有女人的男人》等作品中，村上春树将神秘与日常、忧郁与幽默独特地融合在一起，继续吸引着读者，使他成为世界上受赞誉和爱戴的作家之一。  

In 1978, Haruki Murakami was 29 and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, which turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. His books became bestsellers, were translated into many languages, including English, and the door was thrown wide open to Murakami's unique and addictive fictional universe.

Murakami writes with admirable discipline, producing ten pages a day, after which he runs ten kilometres (he began long-distance running in 1982 and has participated in numerous marathons and races), works on translations, and then reads, listens to records and cooks. His passions colour his non-fiction output, from What I Talk About When I Talk About Running to Absolutely On Music, and they also seep into his novels and short stories, providing quotidian moments in his otherwise freewheeling flights of imaginative inquiry. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84 and Men Without Women, his distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring Murakami's place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.
