«Primera persona del singular» is the short story collection by Haruki Murakami, published by labutxaca in paperback (216 pages, in Catalan).
In this collection of eight stories, Murakami presents narrators often mistaken for himself: fleeting loves that endure in an unexpected object, memories that blur, devotion to baseball, a talking monkey seeking love, or the mythical —and perhaps nonexistent— bossa nova album by Charlie Parker. Philosophical and mysterious stories, straddling the everyday and magical realism, evoking love, solitude, childhood, and memory.
Work translated from Japanese by Albert Nolla Cabellos. The volume belongs to the Labutxaca collection and includes eight stories, some of which reference earlier titles by the author such as Tòquio blues and Kafka a la platja.
Suitable for readers of contemporary short fiction and for those seeking a first contact with Haruki Murakami's literary universe in Catalan.
