Journal Entry 1 by ichigochi from Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto Portugal on Thursday, August 10, 2006
"In this enviable gathering, Haruki Murakami has chosen for his party some of the very best short story writers of recent years, each with their own birthday experiences, each story a snapshot of life on a single day. ... this anthology captures a range of emotions evoked by advancing age and the passing of time, from events fondly recalled to the impact of apalling tragedy."

Received it as part of a book swap from ichigochi. It was exchanged keeping my birthday buddy in mind since it's on her wishlist. Thank you ichigochi for responding promptly to my request!

This is a really nice anthology. And a good introduction to quite a few North American authors, some I knew already, some I hadn't heard of. Murakami also gives some introductory notes on them. It was a perfect birthday gift - so I reserve it as another birthday gift for somebody....

I can't say I was thrilled by any of the stories in this book. I kept puttting it down, picking it up, putting it back down again. The best two out of the lot were 'The Birthday Present' and 'Birthday Girl' I would like to have known what it was she wished for though.
