Men Without Women is a collection of seven short stories from Haruki Murakami:
- Drive My Car
- Yesterday
- An Independent Organ
- Scheherazade
- Kino
- Samsa in Love
- Men without Women
There is something both familiar, yet strange about these stories. Each captures something human and ordinary, led by characters who are often unknowing. In the process of each of these reflective stories, we are taken somewhere further about what it means to be. Although it never feels like we get to a point where all the strings are tied off, the world seems different afterwards.
