Five stars for the stunningly simple but evocative cover art: a single puzzle piece representing the heart removed from the male silhouette, symbolic of the theme that runs through the book’s short stories of isolation in many forms: physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual. Murakami has a gift for quickly drawing the reader into each tale and developing a sense of intimacy with his characters. The title is "Men Without Women” and the stories are told from a male perspective, but it is clear that both sexes need each other. One ponders their meaning afterward and how we connect, or not, to the people in our lives.
