«El salze cec i la dona adormida» is a collection of short stories by Haruki Murakami published by labutxaca in paperback (496 pages, in Catalan).
In these stories, Haruki Murakami combines the everyday with the dreamlike and the fantastic to speak of solitude, lost love, and the search for meaning. The prologue champions the art of crafting a story; each tale is a small capsule of his universe, where tenderness, horror, and anguish coexist with an optimistic and vital outlook.
The Catalan translation is by Albert Nolla Cabellos. The Japanese original was published in 2006, and the work won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award and the Kiriyama Prize.
The work is suitable for readers of contemporary fiction and short stories, especially those who enjoy Japanese literature and magical realism.
