Style and Technique

In «Men Without Women», Haruki Murakami employs his characteristic minimalist style, combining simplicity with depth. The language of the work is concise yet rich with metaphors and symbolism, allowing readers to delve deeper into the emotional world of the characters. Murakami skillfully uses internal monologues and stream of consciousness to reveal the inner experiences of the protagonists. The structure of the stories is fragmented, reflecting the disjointedness and loneliness faced by the characters. The author often resorts to magical realism, creating an atmosphere where reality intertwines with fantasy. Themes of loss, isolation, and the search for meaning in life run throughout the stories, weaving a cohesive whole from individual tales. Murakami also pays attention to details that help create the atmosphere and convey the mood of each story.
