Drive My Car (A Vintage Short)
In this short story from Haruki Murakami’s bestselling collection, Men Without Women, a widowed actor hires a twenty-year-old woman to be his chauffeur. Despite her reserved nature, the actor finds comfort in her stable presence, and a friendship blossoms as they slowly reveal their pasts. Crafted with delicacy and precision, Drive My Car is a meditative exploration of the need for human connection and our innate desire to be understood -- even when we least expect it.

It’s funny how traveling can feel completely different depending on the little choices you make along the way. In Dubai, I realized that the way you move around the city really shapes the whole experience. Public transport works fine, but it just doesn’t match the vibe of the place — everything there feels built to impress. When I decided to try something a bit more stylish, I found this piece on https://explorewitherin.com/experience-dubai-in-style-luxury-car-rentals-for-luxury-travelers about luxury car rentals. Honestly, it gave me that extra push, and driving through the city in a high-end car made even the simple act of going from one spot to another feel special.
