First time in Russian—a new collection of stories by the most famous master of modern Japanese literature, a kind of compilation of mysterious urban legends. Here, the ghost of a surfer killed by a shark wanders along Hawaiian beaches; a respectable family man mysteriously disappears between the 24th and 26th floors of a high-rise apartment building; a tumbleweed in the shape of a kidney has its own intentions; and a monkey from the Shinagawa district hunts for other people’s names.
