Anyone here enjoys his work ?
Follow Ups:
I'm reading Kafka On Shore now. It's the most interesting of the one's I have read (Wind Up & End Of The World).
Any suggestions on similiar writers when I finish Murakami's work?
Regards, Jerry
from Wind-up Bird Chronicles. Completely dazed me. this is all good.
I've read most of his books. The worst are still pretty good reading. My favorite is Hard-Boiled Wonderland.
It was about a Jazz club owner and his former lover. Bought it because of a picture of tenor sax on the cover. Didn't thrill me, but I finished it.
He has cult status in Russia of all places. When I was in Moscow this past winter they had a sizeable section devoted to him in the House of Books [a huge book store]; it was teeming with women, browsing Murakami's new books.I am a huge fan of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the daddy of all modern Japanese writers. There were certain introspective parallels between Murakami and him, but nothing that would scream overt plagiarism.
Despite the press he's gotten in the past few years, I still think he's undervalued here in the US. Ono of the greats of our time.
