Drive My Car

The basis for the Academy-Award®-nominated major motion picture. In this short story from Haruki Murakami’s bestselling collection, Men Without Women , a widowed actor hires a twenty-year-old woman to be his chauffeur. Despite her reserved nature, the actor finds comfort in her stable presence, and a friendship blossoms as they slowly reveal their pasts. Crafted with delicacy and precision, Drive My Car is a meditative exploration of the need for human connection and our innate desire to be understood -- even when we least expect it.
