The stories contained in the book were written between 1981 and 2005 and this collection was first published in English in 2006.

In the introductory notes Murakami declares, 'I find writing novels a challenge, writing stories a joy. If writing novels is like planting a forest, then writing short stories is more like planting a garden.'This elegant analogy serves to give the reader some idea of what awaits.
