Hear the Wind Sing is the first novel by Haruki Murakami; it first appeared in the June 1979 issue of Gunzo, one of Japan’s most influential literary magazines.

There’s not a whole lot to say story-wise. A young man drinks a lot of beer and has strange conversations with a mysterious young lady he has just met. So, classic Murakami.
