具體描述

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).

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.

##似乎每個少年都有過離傢齣走的衝動。厭倦於日復一日單調的傢庭生活,於是嚮往著遠方未知的曆險。當然,真正的叛逆者並不多,那隻是我們青春歲月短暫的幻想之旅而已。但是,這種衝動潛伏在我們的血液中,成為許多人長大成人後寫作的動力。 村上春樹的小說都來源於他年輕時的經...

##一個男孩的成長與救贖。其實挺符閤我的心境despite of gender 村上的書裏麵似乎每一個女性角色都得要跟書裏男角色發生性關係。刻畫女角色時的male gaze很讓我不適。 ——12.13.2020 於ryan wang處藉

##重拾高中時期爛尾的《海邊的卡夫卡》,總算是平心靜氣讀完瞭它。從前過於浮躁瞭,總不能細細品讀村上的作品。在壓力愈發大的大學三年級,十五歲的卡夫卡誠然給瞭我一種精神力量。 村上是一個典型的個人主義者,“什麼也不引渡給彆人,同任何人都不發生連帶關係”,文中主人...
