Among these seven trivial stories, the most confused middle-aged man lost women in life by other men and death. This makes them state that the village's label is "a man without a woman" - always "in a ruthless cold". In Hemingway 's "No Women" published in 1927, these soft, disgusting customs are very similar to warriors and combatants. Murakami's lonely soul is separated from their emotions and bodies and it is difficult to understand what hit them. Lighting is usually indirect or partial, but the accidental relationship with strangers gets brighter

As expected, all stories of "no women" are concentrated in men. As a narrator, as a stranger is arrested in an unfamiliar situation, as a good friend to be a victim of solitude and misfortune. Technically, they are not without women, but obviously they are men and how many women in life are treating or treating them. By "driving my car" the actor hired a young lady driver and told her "friendship" with his dead wife's boyfriend. "Yesterday" when a man came near his colleague who wants to date her girlfriend in college days. In "Independent Organs", the narrator likes to have illegal illegal relationships with women, and speaks of the surgeon's story of starving himself after falling in love with one of them. In "Scheherazade", a man who was unable to leave home for some reason, was often told by an exciting story after sex.
