Wind / Pinball: Two Novels

Wind / Pinball: Two Novels by Haruki Murakami, 233 pages, translated by Goossen
Two of Murakami's earliest works, long out of print, or rather the only English edition was only available in Japan.
The first, Wind, involves a young man on break from college. He hangs out at a Tokyo bar with his old friend, Rat, and meets a young girl with 9 fingers. Pinball follows the same character, I think, but explores his relationship with his twin girlfriends, whom he refers to as 208 and 209. Rat and the same bar appear in this one as well. Both stories, written in the 1970s feel like Murakami, but don't quite go down as far down the roads that he so expertly travels later. The audio is read by Kirby Heyborne.
