Haruki Murakami’s Seven Stories: “It’s Quite Easy to Become Men Without Women”
摘要
This chapter examines Haruki Murakami’s short story collection, Men Without Women (2017). The discussion explores Murakami’s work in the context of misogyny and the “lonely man” narrative. Stories discussed include “Drive My Car,” “Scheherazade,” and “Samsa in Love.” Despite concerns raised about Murakami’s male-centric perspective possibly tinged with sexism/misogyny, the volume invites readers to think deeply about not just men but men without women and those women.
