PREMIUM
The Transition
Highly recommended for fans of suspense, classic dystopias, futurists, and sf. ["The writing is deft, and there is humor but always under a cloud of ominous possibilities.

PREMIUM
Men Without Women
Another fantastic collection from Murakami, rich with emotion and written with mastery. Highly recommended for fans of literary fiction, Japanese fiction, weird fiction, and domestic fiction and for older male readers.

["This hidden gem of a story deserves a place in all public library collections": LJ 9/15/16 starred review of the Algonquin hc.]
