Once the need over the phone (Haruki Murakami translated library) (2008) ISBN: 412403511X

I'm curious about his selection process—did he choose stories based on themes, personal significance, or reader impact? It made me wonder how authors curate their own work.

The title feels so personal and inviting, capturing the essence of human connection. I'd love to hear what the author was aiming to convey with it.
