Men without women

I was supposed to have picked up collection of short stories with the same name by Ernest Hemingway but got confused and ended up purchasing this. This was my first Murakami book (also a collection of short stories) and it is a blend of comedy with tragedy. The common theme of all the seven short stories is 'lone' men (either widower, divorced or single). Most endings are open and the translations (originally written in Japanese) are high quality.
