About this listen
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Including the story "Drive My Car” - now an Academy Award-nominated film - this collection from the internationally acclaimed author "examines what happens to characters without important women in their lives; it'll move you and confuse you and sometimes leave you with more questions than answers" (Barack Obama).
Across seven tales, Haruki Murakami brings his powers of observation to bear on the lives of men who, in their own ways, find themselves alone. Here are lovesick doctors, students, ex-boyfriends, actors, bartenders, and even Kafka’s Gregor Samsa, brought together to tell stories that speak to us all. In Men Without Women, Murakami has crafted another contemporary classic, marked by the same wry humor and pathos that have defined his entire body of work.

The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 166
In 1957, four years before his death, Carl Gustav Jung, psychiatrist and psychologist, began writing his life story. But what started as an exercise in autobiography soon morphed into an altogether more profound undertaking. The result is an absorbing piece of self-analysis: a frank statement of faith, philosophy, and principles from one of the great explorers of the human mind.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Assembled from notes and jottings left unpublished at the time of the author’s death, The Book of Disquiet is a collection of aphoristic prose-poetry musings on dreams, solitude, time and memory. Credited to Pessoa’s alter ego, Bernardo Soares, who chronicles his contemplations in this so-called "factless" autobiography, the work is a journey of one man’s soul and, by extension, of all human souls that allow their minds and hearts to roam far and free.

Story4 out of 5 stars 18
From the internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami comes a mind-bending new collection of short stories, all touching beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory...all with a signature Murakami twist. The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 51
Dr. Catherine Kleier invites us to open our eyes to the phenomenal world of plant life and to the process she calls “Natura Revelata”, the joy of celebrating and learning from the secrets of nature. As Dr. Kleier shares her knowledge with contagious excitement for her subject, she emphasizes the middle ground: Instead of focusing on cell microbiology or the study of ecosystems and habitats, she stresses the basic biology, function, and the amazing adaptations of the plants we see all around us.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labelled Borgesian.

Mixed Bag, Mostly Good
February 2022 | 4/5
Like many short story collections, there's standouts and fillers, and Men Without Women is the same. I'd give this a soft 4 - the stories are entertaining, and the standouts are great, especially the weird and fantastical.
The first story, 'Drive My Car' has a gentleman, who recently lost their license, and hires a female driver. Over the rides, the driver begins to remind him of his dead wife and they exchange stories from their past lives.
The second and third story may be related but it's not clear. These were mostly forgettable, along with the fourth.
'Scheherazade' is werid - a gentleman hiding out has weekly grocery deliveries. The delivery woman will sleep with him and tell stories - one day she mentions a past life as a lampray eel.
Story six is a play on Kafka's Metamorphosis - a bug wakes up to discover themselves in a human body.
'Men Without Women' is the final story and perhaps thesis; some men who lose a woman, lose all women.

Excellent stories and beautiful narration
Stories are sensitive and witty, and narration almost lyrical. I listen to audible while taking a walk, and I found myself laughing, especially while listening to the second story.
It's was a perfect combination of beautiful writing and exceptional narration.

Loved it!
I loved this book, there were two stories that really made me cry. It's amazing the way he describes the feelings and what is happening in someone's mind. Amazing.

Depressing
Didn’t like the book at all. In general was very dark and depressing. Couldn’t bring myself to finish it. Closed it and returned the book.
