Supergrunch Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i get scoffed at everytime i tell a japanese person that dont like murakami THAT much. he's like jesus over here or something... if jesus was japanese/still alive/wrote surrealist fiction/was unconditionally loved by all. ...i really liked norwegian wood tho - what are his OTHER "standard books"?? i'm more interested in his boring stuff apparently I'm afraid Norwegian Wood is the only really realistic one... he wrote it to see if he could. I still think it's one of his best. Oddly enough, despite his popularity, Murakami's style isn't very Japanese, which is perhaps why lots of Japanese scholars aren't so keen.

Well, from what I understand in Japan he's considered like Dan Brown or something, in that he's insanely popular but people who claim to like "real literature" are sniffy about him. Which just seems to be a reaction to his popularity and Western style, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
