Two of Murakami's first works, both novellas. Interesting from a development perspective. One of them (I forget which) is basically an autobiographical piece about his life right around when he decided to write novels, and also an explanation of the completely random way in which he decided to become a writer, and his first steps in finding his own particular style (turns out he first started to try writing in English and liked the simplified, pared down result, which he then translated into a writing technique in Japanese)
