Murakami Haruki (Japanese: 村上 春樹) is a popular contemporary Japanese writer and translator. His work has been described as 'easily accessible, yet profoundly complex'. He can be located on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/harukimuraka...
Since childhood, Murakami has been heavily influenced by Western culture, particularly Western music and literature. He grew up reading a range of works by American writers, such as Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan, and he is often distinguished from other Japanese writers by his Western influences.
Murakami studied drama at Waseda University in Tokyo, where he met his wife, Yoko. His first job was at a record store, which is where one of his main characters, Toru Watanabe in Norwegian Wood, works. Shortly before finishing his studies, Murakami opened the coffeehouse 'Peter Cat' which was a jazz bar in the evening in Kokubunji, Tokyo with his wife.
Many of his novels have themes and titles that invoke classical music, such as the three books making up The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: The Thieving Magpie (after Rossini's opera), Bird as Prophet (after a piano piece by Robert Schumann usually known in English as The Prophet Bird), and The Bird-Catcher (a character in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute). Some of his novels take their titles from songs: Dance, Dance, Dance (after The Dells' song, although it is widely thought it was titled after the Beach Boys tune), Norwegian Wood (after The Beatles' song) and South of the Border, West of the Sun (the first part being the title of a song by Nat King Cole).

1.看完了《海边的卡夫卡》,觉得有些作家天赋就是写短篇的。写短篇与写长篇与其说是一种才能,不如说是天生的心性。(这么一说,我喜欢的作家几乎都是写中短篇的。写长篇的一个也没有。)写长篇首先需要的是一种结构力。这可不是普通的结构力,而是一种能够把读者“结构”进来...
评分昨天才读完《海边的卡夫卡》,倒真如奥地利作家弗兰兹卡夫卡作品般荒谬,这本书拖拖踏踏读了差不多一个月才读完,看到最后一句时,总有种莫名的空虚感,却无法从中感到什么实质性的思考。直到隔了一天,午睡苏醒时才像是触电般感到——这是一个十五岁少年对荒谬世界的初步认知...
评分我的村上接受史有点奇怪。一开始的时候,我对村上春树的作品是比较抵抗的。记得最早看到《挪威的森林》还是在80年代,在一本外国文学杂志上,随便翻了几页就看不下去了。当时的印象是:太小资了,很肤浅。那个时候心高气傲,自以为很深刻,很多东西都不放在眼里,尤其是对...
评分重拾高中时期烂尾的《海边的卡夫卡》,总算是平心静气读完了它。从前过于浮躁了,总不能细细品读村上的作品。在压力愈发大的大学三年级,十五岁的卡夫卡诚然给了我一种精神力量。 村上是一个典型的个人主义者,“什么也不引渡给别人,同任何人都不发生连带关系”,文中主人...
评分读罢《海边的卡夫卡》,我忽然想,那个写《且听风吟》,写《挪威的森林》村上究竟哪里去了? 我不知道,为什么有人会说《挪威的森林》是村上最差的作品。《挪威的森林》于我而言,就像是一首诗。多年之后,我依然记得主人公坐在波音客机降落在汉堡机场,看着窗外熟悉的风...

Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's novel is at once a classic quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.
