In 1978, Haruki Murakami was 29 and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers’ award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, which turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. His books became bestsellers, were translated into many languages, including English, and the door was thrown wide open to Murakami’s unique and addictive fictional universe.
Murakami writes with admirable discipline, producing ten pages a day, after which he runs ten kilometres (he began long-distance running in 1982 and has participated in numerous marathons and races), works on translations, and then reads, listens to records and cooks. His passions colour his non-fiction output, from What I Talk About When I Talk About Running to Absolutely On Music, and they also seep into his novels and short stories, providing quotidian moments in his otherwise freewheeling flights of imaginative inquiry. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84 and Men Without Women, his distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring Murakami’s place as one of the world’s most acclaimed and well-loved writers.

为了准备drive my car来看。看村上的书还是很joyful reading。他对情绪的表述非常细致(但不知为何无法被touched)也时常被跳出来的brand name分心!

At a certain time, losing one woman means losing all women. That’s how we become Men Without Women.

又想起来我为什么对村上有意见了:他总是在看透的边缘游走,每当他作出什么有趣的观察的时候我都会激动一下,然后发现他还是定格在中年异性恋男性的角色里。用(我其实不喜欢但忍不住要使用的)网络语言来说就是,村上太normie了!但他写的东西又完全不normie,我就真的不行。 不过他写青春疼痛总是相当合适。 最喜欢的一篇是《Yesterday》,虽然怎么看都感觉是《挪威的森林》remix版,但胜在简洁有力... 又想起来我为什么对村上有意见了:他总是在看透的边缘游走,每当他作出什么有趣的观察的时候我都会激动一下,然后发现他还是定格在中年异性恋男性的角色里。用(我其实不喜欢但忍不住要使用的)网络语言来说就是,村上太normie了!但他写的东西又完全不normie,我就真的不行。 不过他写青春疼痛总是相当合适。 最喜欢的一篇是《Yesterday》,虽然怎么看都感觉是《挪威的森林》remix版,但胜在简洁有力,且美丽句子占比更高。《Kino》也不错,虽然中间的魔幻现实主义我不太喜欢,但这种心里一片空白的状态还是让我有所共鸣了。 (展开)
