Enter the world of Haruki Murakami and enter a feast of music and words.
It is well known that Haruki Murakami is a big music fan. From jazz to rock, from classical to pop, there is no field that he is not familiar with. The encounter between music and words makes the stories he writes more meaningful and the protagonists of the stories more emotional.
The authors of this book are five well-known Japanese music critics. They selected 100 representative pieces of music from the music mentioned in Haruki Murakami's works so far, and divided them into five types according to different styles: "Music after the 1980s", "Rock", "Pop", "Classical" and "Jazz", with 20 pieces of each type.
In the book, five authors systematically sort out the music in Murakami's works and the interesting anecdotes behind the music from a professional perspective, and explore the role and function of these music in Murakami's literature, allowing readers to see a colorful new world of Murakami interwoven with words and music.
