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).

17岁的时候,收到过一封来自林少华先生的信。 昨天在家整理旧信件,简直都是看起来惨不忍睹的小女生花花绿绿强说愁。而这一封从中国海洋大学外国语学院发出,白信封白信纸,我猛然想起也曾有过这一等事发生过。 “xx君: 你好,还记得你五月十九日给我写的信吗?回信这么晚...
评分 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...
评分浅谈《海边的卡夫卡》 这段时间一个人待着的时候多了些,怕了孤寂,从书摊上搬了些书回来。于是时间在一页一页的翻动中逝去,倒是十分充实。经常要面对别人对我离家独居生活方式的讶异,我只是微笑,并不多做解释。 搬来的书中有张爱玲作品集和村上春树的《海边的卡夫卡》。...
评分似乎每个少年都有过离家出走的冲动。厌倦于日复一日单调的家庭生活,于是向往着远方未知的历险。当然,真正的叛逆者并不多,那只是我们青春岁月短暂的幻想之旅而已。但是,这种冲动潜伏在我们的血液中,成为许多人长大成人后写作的动力。 村上春树的小说都来源于他年轻时的经...

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.
