Here you won't find the pages of a pedantic journal, praises to fantastic places or accounts of memorable encounters. This is a collection of stories, thoughts, images, and most of all odd stuff, even though to someone else it might actually look ordinary. To discern its bizarre side, in fact, special filters are needed: cynicism, fussiness, stubbornness, isolation, impudence, nosiness and nerdiness. All flaws that, in different measure, this semi-nomadic being has got embedded in his genes.

Haruki Murakami - After the quake
This is a collection of short stories. Every story takes place few days or weeks after the terrible Kobe earthquake of 1995. Each one of them is based in a different Japanese place, though none in Kobe itself. This is typical Murakami. People are suddenly attracted to some place or situation, apparently for no reason, though a reason there might be, even though it's never explicit. And from then on things start to happen.
