Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami is a poignant collection of seven short stories that explore themes of loneliness, longing, and the complexity of human relationships. Each story delves into the lives of men who find themselves isolated, either physically or emotionally, from the women they love or desire. With his signature blend of surrealism and introspection, Murakami paints vivid portraits of characters grappling with heartbreak, memory, and the elusive nature of connection.
From tales of unrequited love to the mysteries of loss and separation, Men Without Women offers readers an intimate glimpse into the vulnerabilities of the human heart. Murakami’s lyrical prose and contemplative storytelling make this a deeply affecting exploration of solitude and the threads that bind us to one another.

- "Losing someone you love is like having a hole in your heart that never closes."
Translation (Sinhala): "ඔබට ආදරය කරන කෙනෙකු අහිමි වීම යනු කවදාවත් පිරවිය නොහැකි හදවතේ රන්ඳක් වීමක්."
Translation (Tamil): "நீங்கள் காதலிக்கும் ஒருவரை இழப்பது, ஒருபோதும் மூடப்படாத ஒரு துளையை உங்கள் இதயத்தில் உருவாக்குவது போன்றது."
