Slow Boat to China

«Slow Boat to China» — the first collection of short prose by Haruki Murakami. It was written just a year after the famous novel «A Wild Sheep Chase». On the pages of this book, another incarnation of the «sheep» will appear.

But first, the reader will meet a poor aunt who has settled on the narrator's back. Go to the zoo during a typhoon. Put on a funeral suit. Dig up a dog and pretend to be a poor private detective. Only after that will the professor-sheep appear before you.

This collection contains many strange encounters and coincidences. Soft music plays in the background, while the slow boat glides along a metaphorical path. Are you ready to follow it?
