REIMAGINED SYNOPSIS:

INTERNATIONAL SENSATION • A mesmerizing new compilation of short stories from the globally revered, chart-topping author. • "While some writers reflect the world in a mirror, others, like the enchanting Haruki Murakami, transform the mirror into a gateway to an unseen universe." —The Wall Street Journal
