«A Rapariga Que Inventou Um Sonho» is Haruki Murakami's short story collection, published by Bis in paperback (432 pages, in Portuguese).
The book brings together twenty-four stories written between 1981 and 2005 in which Murakami blends the everyday with the fantastic: animated crows, criminal monkeys, an ice man and solitary characters facing loss or insurmountable distances. Melancholy, jazz, birds and cats are recurring motifs.
The original work, known in English as «Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman», was published in 2006; this Portuguese edition came out in 2017 with a translation by Maria João Lourenço.
For readers who have not yet read Murakami, the cover quote from the San Francisco Chronicle presents the book as a gateway to his work.
