Haruki Murakami reads new short story. Only the title was allowed to be revealed afterwards, not the plot.

His last short story collection, First Person Singular, was published more than three years ago. His debut "When the Wind Sings" was published in 1979, four years after he began writing in a jazz bar in Tokyo. The romance novel “Naoko's Smile,” published in 1987, was his first bestseller and made him a young literary star.
