Men Without Women

This book got mixed reviews which is not surprising since Haruki Murakami as an author has always had that effect. To those who are used to his writing style, this collection of short stories will move you even if you find some elements as unnecessary. Taken as a whole, it gives you a glimpse of the oftentimes neglected lives of Men Without Women. The lonely women of this world have been written about so many times but not many books talk about the men and their struggles of being alone. After you’re done with the last page, you will be reminded that the reasons and consequences behind the suffering of the alone and lonely are universal.
