Desire | Haruki Murakami

A couple excellent short stories

This collection contains five short stories dealing with the topic of desire in some way. The first and last story that really resonated with me making this a very worthwhile read.

The first one demonstrates how love can be unreasonable, drastic and disruptive. It also carries a heavy mystical or fantastic undertone which is common for most of the stories in here.

The last story is more melancholy and deals with loneliness that butts up against a love too good to be true.
