Features: The first collaboration between author Haruki Murakami and painter Xian Shuiwan: "You haven’t read my writing, I haven’t seen your paintings." In The Fiery Clouds in the Mirror, the illustrations are actually water bottles and cups; in The Twin Convention in Twin Town, the illustrations are unexpectedly planes and cars. The two were simply put together, and thus came this beautiful collection of short stories. The writing and the art are naturally unrelated, yet when combined, they form a harmonious whole, as if the two had carefully discussed it. By chance, they became a perfect match, a match made in heaven between an author and an artist.
