Firefly, Barn Burning and Other Stories has proved that Haruki Murakami still holds the acute ability to make his readers feel shattered, shocked and astounded at the same time. He could also powerfully leave never-ending and challenging mysteries for his readers to ponder over and over. This book is able to dig out our mind deeper and deeper, only to find that the deepest darkness at the back of our thoughts is always consoling, healing and being our best friend.

For this short story project, Gamme Magie Editions has tried so hard to change a not-so-popular short story project into a dynamic translating playground as we invited Murakami’s fan club to join us in “Murakami’s fans act (translating)!” In this project, Daungruethai Esanachatanf from Between the Lines Publishing has opted for the idea and kindly agreed to help. Apart from inviting writers and translators “with Murakami potential” to join in this project, she also collected, translated, and edited all the manuscripts for us.
