One of Japan's foremost modern fiction writers, Haruki Murakami is known for his surreal, unforgettable journeys through the human psyche. To celebrate the acclaimed author of Norwegian Wood, 1Q84 and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Japan Society and Selected Shorts present an evening of his stories read live on stage by actors from stage and screen. Featuring oddball characters, dreamlike twists and deeply human dilemmas, this event will satisfy Murakami newcomers as well as those who know every jazz reference and talking cat. Host Maulik Pancholy will be joined on stage by Jennifer Ikeda and more!
Our greatest actors transport us through the magic of fiction, one short story at a time. Sometimes funny. Always moving. Selected Shorts connects you to the world with a rich diversity of voices from literature, film, theater, and comedy.
