Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

A young man accompanies his cousin to the hospital to check an unusual hearing complaint and recalls a story of a woman put to sleep by tiny flies crawling inside her ear; In each one of these stories Murakami sidesteps the real and sprints for the surreal.

Un tanar il insoteste pe varul sau la spital pentru a verifica o plangere neobisnuita a auzului si isi aminteste povestea unei femei adormite de mustele mici care se tarasc in urechea ei; In fiecare dintre aceste povesti, Murakami ocoleste realul si sprinturile catre suprarealist.
