Yoshiya lives with his mother, who has recently been away helping her religious group provide earthquake relief. When he was young he was told by his fatherlike "special guide" Mr. Tabata that his father is "Our Lord." When he is in high school he learns that his father, according to his mother, is an obstetrician who she "had knowledge" of during her high school days; she had been seeing this man because she needed advice regarding abortions and contraception. That man was adamant about Yoshiya not being his child and had an accident in his childhood in which a dog bit off one of his earlobes.

Die beträchtliche Spannung der Erzählungen lebt folgerichtig aus der Drohung wie aus der Verheißung der Brüche. Das Ende kann eine neue Liebe, ein gemeinsamer Selbstmord, eine erfolgreiche Gottsuche, der Aufbruch aus seelischer Erstarrung sein. Doch Murakami lässt mit seiner auffälligsten Eigenschaft als Erzähler das Ende zumeist offen: einem beobachteten Gleichmut, der von der katastrophischen Zuspitzung absticht und die Traumatisierung kompensiert, aber nicht mit einer sorgsam gepflegten narzisstischen Coolness-Attitüde verwechselt werden darf." - Ludger Lütkehaus, Die Zeit Dr Shaaban claimed other nations were treating her country differently to Turkey, asking: "Why don’t [western nations] treat people in the same way?"

Murakami's interpersonal relationships are pleasant but so unlike most people's experience that they help give the collection a very surreal feel. The Kobe earthquake plays a large role here, both in his wife's leaving and as a reflection of his own unsettled state. Meraviglioso racconto che adotta la forte metafora del terremoto per sconfinare in un limbo di consapevolezza. This slim little volume of short stories (only six of them in all), all loosely connected to the 1995 Kobe earthquake, didn't garner as much critical acclaim as some of Murakami's other books. And, to be honest, the first couple of stories were just okay--solid, but not what I would necessarily call "genius", which is what I always expect from this guy. The teacher ridiculed her view.
