Part of the story was extracted, edited and expanded into "Crabs", published in Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, but the entirety has never been published in English. The young man in the story is at a café with Murakami himself. He mailed Murakami one of his short stories (the content of which the real-life Murakami later turned into "Crabs"), and Murakami, charmed by the young man's interesting handwriting and somewhat impressed with the story itself, read all 70 pages and sent him a letter of suggestions. "Baseball Field" tells the story of their subsequent meeting over coffee."Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman Ōto 1979 "Nausea 1979" Hantingu naifu = Hunting knife "Hunting Knife" (The New Yorker, November 17, 2003) Odoru kobito "The Dancing Dwarf"The Elephant Vanishes1985 Rēdāhōzen = Lederhosen "Lederhosen" Pan'ya saishūgeki "The Second Bakery Attack" Zō no shōmetsu "The Elephant Vanishes" (The New Yorker, November 18, 1991) Famirī afea = Family affair "Family Affair"1986 Rōma-teikoku no hōkai・1881-nen no Indian hōki・Hittorā no Pōrando shinnyū・soshite kyōfū sekai "The Fall of the Roman Empire, the 1881 Indian Uprising, Hitler's Invasion of Poland, and the Realm of Raging Winds" Nejimaki-dori to kayōbi no onnatachi "The Wind-up Bird And Tuesday's Women" (The New Yorker, November 26, 1990)1989 Nemuri "Sleep" (The New Yorker, March 30, 1992) TV pīpuru = TV peopleThis story originally appeared in a magazine under the longer title (TV pīpuru no gyakushū, literally "The TV People Strike Back") but received this shorter final title for all further appearances.
