About the Author · · · · · ·
Haruki Murakami (1949- ) is a Japanese novelist. He studied at the Department of Drama, Faculty of Literature, Waseda University. In 1979, his first novel, "Hearing the Wind Song", was adapted into a film. Subsequently, his excellent works such as "Pinball in 1973", "A Sheep Chase", and "Norwegian Wood" were published one after another. His creations are not bound by tradition, with novel ideas and free and easy writing, but not vulgar and shallow. Especially in the portrayal of people's loneliness and helplessness, he has more characteristics. He did not write this emotion as a negative thing, but sublimated it into an elegant style and a state of enjoyment through inner mental operation, so as to provide readers, especially those living in cities, with a lifestyle or life experience.
