Haruki Murakami
Murakami is a Japanese writer but he is also a “global” one, meaning that his works are best read not as expressions of Japanese culture, but as examinations of questions that concern all humanity.
Murakami was born in 1949 in Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital, to a middle-class family with a vested interest in the national culture. His father was a teacher of Japanese literature. His grandfather was a Buddhist monk.
From an early age, Murakami seems to have turned against the culture and traditions that surrounded him. Having no interest in Japanese literature, he devoured 19th-century European authors.
Murakami Haruki is world-renowned as a novelist of magical realist fiction. He began writing while running a jazz bar in Tokyo after finishing college.

His decision to write arrived in the form of an epiphany. Murakami was watching a baseball game, and the star batter had just hit a double when, Murakami says, he heard a voice telling him to begin writing a novel.
He realized, suddenly, that he could write a novel. Murakami had never felt a serious desire to do so before, but now it was overwhelming.
And so he did! After the game, he went to a bookstore, bought a pen and some paper and over the next couple of months produced “Hear the Wind Sing”
Since the publication of his first book in 1979, Murakami has written 20 books of fiction and short stories, and innumerable essays on subjects as varied as jazz, travel and the Olympic Games.
His 1987 romantic novel “Norwegian Wood” was his first best-seller, establishing him as a young literary star.
Haruki Murakami was selected as one of iBooks 10 Authors to Read in 2017.
