In this collection of short stories, "Tony Falls Valley" is undoubtedly the most subtle.

This novel is sentimental and beautiful, and with its unique narrative style and deep emotional connotation, it has been hailed as "one of the truly great short stories" of Haruki Murakami.

Tony Falls Valley in the story is a man full of loneliness and pursuit. He once had a sweet love but lost it, and in the process of pursuing himself in loneliness, he experienced countless setbacks and tribulations.

However, it was these setbacks and tribulations that gave him a deeper understanding of the nature of loneliness and fear.

And at the end of the story, when he really becomes a loner in Waterfall Valley, that downright loneliness seems to gush out of the paper.

Another thought-provoking short story is "The Blind Willow, and the Sleeping Girl", which is actually a modified version of his previous short story "The Blind Willow and the Sleeping Girl" (included in the short story collection "Firefly"), and the plot is basically the same. It's all Watanabe reminiscing about going to the hospital with Kizuki to visit Naoko, but their names are not mentioned in this novel.

In addition to these thought-provoking short stories, the other stories in The Ghost of Lexington have their own characteristics.
