Primera persona del singular

Adolescent loves evoked with serene nostalgia, barely glimpsed young people, jazz reviews about impossible records, a poet who loves baseball, a talking ape who works as a masseur and an old man who talks about the circle with several centers... The characters and scenes of this The long-awaited volume of stories blows up the boundaries between the imagination and the real world. And they return to us, intact, lost loves, truncated relationships and loneliness, adolescence, reunions and, above all, the memory of love, because "no one will be able to take away the memory of having loved or of having ever been in love in life", assures the narrator. A first-person narrator who, at times, could be Murakami himself. Is it then a memoir, some stories with autobiographical overtones or an exclusively fictional volume? The reader will have to decide.
