Birthday Girl (short story)
"Birthday Girl" (バースデイ・ガール, Bāsudei gāru = Birthday girl) is a short story written by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, and first published in 2002. After reading "Timothy's Birthday" by William Trevor and "The Moor" by Russell Banks, Murakami felt haunted and decided to collect more birthday-themed stories for an anthology. Murakami was putting together Birthday Stories (2002 in Japanese, 2004 in English), his anthology of short stories on the theme of birthdays, and wrote "Birthday Girl" especially for it.
