“Birthday Girl” is a short story written by Haruki Murakami. It appeared in Harper’s Magazine in July 2003, as well as in “Birthday Stories” – a collection of short stories personally selected and introduced by Murakami.
I first referenced this story in a blogpost called What Would You Wish For last April, after a short but important and necessary trip to Singapore. I have been looking for the online version to share in here since.
Here’s the story, on the birthday of the girl in the story, November 17. The story was told when she was (at least) 30. That makes her in my age bracket.
Just that unlike her, my wish had come true. And I wish I wished for something else.
You know what they say. Careful what you wish for. Views: 370
