Samsa had no idea where he was, or what he should do. All he knew was that he was now a human whose name was Gregor Samsa. And how did he know that? Perhaps someone had whispered it in his ear while he lay sleeping? But who had he been before he became Gregor Samsa? This story was first published in The New Yorker on October 21, 2013, and later included in the collection First Person Singular (2020).

beautiful novel written as a sequel to Franz Kafka's “Metamorphosis”. I had to read Kafka's novel first to understand Murakami's Samsa in love. It is an amazing book that turned a gloomy story by Kafka into a nicer one. I love Murakami's works, they are very special and mind-intriguing.
