Signature

Haruki Murakami (村上 春樹, Murakami Haruki?, born January 12, 1949) is a contemporary Japanese writer. Murakami has beentranslated into 50 languages[1] and his best-selling books have sold millions[2] of copies.

His works of fiction and non-fiction have garnered critical acclaim and numerous awards, both in Japan and internationally, includingthe World Fantasy Award (2006) and the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award (2006), while his oeuvre garnered amongothers the Franz Kafka Prize (2006) and the Jerusalem Prize (2009). Murakami's most notable works include A Wild Sheep Chase(1982), Norwegian Wood (1987), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994-1995), Kafka on the Shore (2002), and 1Q84 (2009–2010).He has also translated a number of English works into Japanese, from Raymond Carver to J. D. Salinger.

Murakami's fiction, often criticized by Japan's literary establishment as un-Japanese, was influenced by Western writers fromChandler to Vonnegut by way of Brautigan. It is frequently surrealistic and melancholic or fatalistic, marked by a Kafkaesque renditionof the "recurrent themes of alienation and loneliness"[3] he weaves into his narratives. He is also considered an important figure inpostmodern literature. Steven Poole of The Guardian praised Murakami as "among the world's greatest living novelists" for his worksand achievements.[4]

Biography[edit]Murakami was born in Japan during the post–World War II baby boom. Although born in Kyoto, he spent his youth in Shukugawa(Nishinomiya), Ashiya and Kobe.[5][6] His father was the son of a Buddhist priest,[7] and his mother the daughter of an Osakamerchant.[8] Both taught Japanese literature.[9]

Since childhood, Murakami has been heavily influenced by Western culture, particularly Western music and literature. He grew upreading a wide range of works by American writers, such as Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Brautigan and Jack Kerouac. These Western

influences distinguish Murakami from other Japanese writers.[10]

Murakami studied drama at Waseda University in Tokyo, where he met his wife, Yoko. His first job was at a record store, much likeToru Watanabe, the narrator of Norwegian Wood. Shortly before finishing his studies, Murakami opened a coffeehouse and jazz bar,the Peter Cat, in Kokubunji, Tokyo, which he ran with his wife[11] from 1974 to 1981[12]—again, not unlike the protagonist in his laternovel South of the Border, West of the Sun.

Many of his novels have themes and titles that invoke classical music, such as the three books making up The Wind-Up BirdChronicle: The Thieving Magpie (after Rossini's opera), Bird as Prophet (after a piano piece by Robert Schumann usually known inEnglish as The Prophet Bird), and The Bird-Catcher (a character in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute). Some of his novels take theirtitles from songs: Dance, Dance, Dance (after The Dells' 1957 B-side song,[13][14] although it is often thought it was titled after theBeach Boys' 1964 tune), Norwegian Wood (after The Beatles' song) and South of the Border, West of the Sun (after the song "Southof the Border").[15]

Murakami is a serious marathon runner and triathlon enthusiast, though he did not start running until he was 33 years old. On June 23,1996, he completed his first ultramarathon, a 100-kilometer race around Lake Saroma in Hokkaido, Japan.[16] He discusses hisrelationship with running in his 2008 memoir What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.[17]

Trilogy of the Rat[edit]

Murakami began writing fiction when he was 29.[18] "Before that", he said, "I didn't write anything. I was just one of those ordinarypeople. I was running a jazz club, and I didn't create anything at all."[19] He was inspired to write his first novel, Hear the Wind Sing(1979), while watching a baseball game.[20] In 1978, Murakami was in Jingu Stadium watching a game between the Yakult Swallowsand the Hiroshima Carp when Dave Hilton, an American, came to bat. According to an oft-repeated story, in the instant that Hilton hit adouble, Murakami suddenly realized that he could write a novel.[21] He went home and began writing that night. Murakami worked onHear the Wind Sing for several months in very brief stretches after working days at the bar. He completed the novel and sent it to theonly literary contest that would accept a work of that length, winning first prize.

Murakami's initial success with Hear the Wind Sing encouraged him to continue writing. A year later, he published a sequel, Pinball,1973. In 1982, he published A Wild Sheep Chase, a critical success. Hear the Wind Sing, Pinball, 1973, and A Wild Sheep Chaseform the Trilogy of the Rat (a sequel, Dance, Dance, Dance, was written later but is not considered part of the series), centered onthe same unnamed narrator and his friend, "the Rat." The first two novels are unpublished in English translation outside of Japan,where an English edition, translated by Alfred Birnbaum with extensive notes, was published by Kodansha as part of a series intendedfor Japanese students of English. Murakami considers his first two novels to be "weak",[citation needed] and has not been eager to havethem translated into English.[22] A Wild Sheep Chase, he says, was "the first book where I could feel a kind of sensation, the joy oftelling a story. When you read a good story, you just keep reading. When I write a good story, I just keep writing."[citation needed]

Wider recognition[edit]

Murakami in 2005, giving a lecture at MIT.

In 1985, Murakami wrote Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, a dream-like fantasy that took the magical elements ofhis work to a new extreme. Murakami achieved a major breakthrough and national recognition in 1987 with the publication ofNorwegian Wood, a nostalgic story of loss and sexuality. It sold millions of copies among Japanese youths, making Murakami aliterary superstar in his native country. The book was printed in two separate volumes, so that the number of books sold actuallydoubled, creating the million-copy bestseller hype. One book had a green cover, the other one red.[4]

In 1986, Murakami left Japan, traveled throughout Europe, and settled in the United States. He was a writing fellow at PrincetonUniversity in Princeton, New Jersey, Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, and Harvard University in Cambridge,Massachusetts.[6][23] During this time he wrote South of the Border, West of the Sun and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.[6]

From "detachment" to "commitment"[edit]

In 1995, he published The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, a novel that fuses the realistic and fantastic, and contains elements of physicalviolence. It is also more socially conscious than his previous work, dealing in part with the difficult topic of war crimes in Manchukuo(Northeast China). The novel won the Yomiuri Prize, awarded by one of his harshest former critics, Kenzaburo Oe, winner of the NobelPrize for Literature in 1994.[24]

The processing of collective trauma soon became an important theme in Murakami's writing, which had previously been morepersonal in nature. After finishing The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Murakami returned to Japan in the aftermath of the Kobe earthquakeand the Aum Shinrikyo gas attack. He came to terms with these events with his first work of non-fiction, Underground, and the shortstory collection after the quake. Underground consists largely of interviews of victims of the gas attacks in the Tokyo subway system.

Murakami himself mentions that he changed his position from one of "detachment" to one of "commitment" after staying in the USA in1991. "His early books, he said, originated in an individual darkness, while his later works tap into the darkness found in society andhistory."[3]

English translations of many of his short stories written between 1983 and 1990 have been collected in The Elephant Vanishes.Murakami has also translated many of the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Raymond Carver, Truman Capote, John Irving, and Paul

Theroux, among others, into Japanese.[6]

Murakami took an active role in translation of his work into English, encouraging "adaptations" of his texts to American reality ratherthan direct translation. Some of his works which appeared in German turned out to be translations from English rather than fromJapanese (South of the Border, West of the Sun, 2000; The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 2000s), encouraged by Murakami himself.Both were later translated from Japanese.[25]

Since 2000[edit]

Sputnik Sweetheart was first published in 1999, followed by Kafka on the Shore in 2002, with the English translation following in2005. Kafka on the Shore won the World Fantasy Award for Novels in 2006.[26] The English version of his novel After Dark wasreleased in May 2007. It was chosen by the New York Times as a "notable book of the year". In late 2005, Murakami published acollection of short stories titled Tōkyō Kitanshū, or 東京奇譚集, which translates loosely as "Mysteries of Tokyo." A collection of theEnglish versions of twenty-four short stories, titled Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, was published in August 2006. This collectionincludes both older works from the 1980s as well as some of Murakami's more recent short stories, including all five that appear inTōkyō Kitanshū.

In 2002, Murakami published the anthology Birthday Stories, which collects short stories on the theme of birthdays. The collectionincludes work by Russell Banks, Ethan Canin, Raymond Carver, David Foster Wallace, Denis Johnson, Claire Keegan, Andrea Lee,Daniel Lyons, Lynda Sexson, Paul Theroux, and William Trevor, as well as a story by Murakami himself. What I Talk About When ITalk About Running, containing tales about his experience as a marathon runner and a triathlete, was published in Japan in 2007,[27]

with English translations released in the U.K. and the U.S. in 2008. The title is a play on that of Raymond Carver's short storycollection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.[28]

Shinchosha Publishing published Murakami's novel 1Q84 in Japan on May 29, 2009. 1Q84 is pronounced as 'ichi kyū hachi yon', thesame as 1984, as 9 is also pronounced as 'kyū' in Japanese.[29] The book was longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize in 2011.However, after the anti-Japanese demonstrations, in China, in 2012, Murakami's books were removed from sale there, along withthose of other Japanese authors.[30][31] Murakami criticized the China-Japan political territorial dispute, characterizing theoverwrought nationalistic response as "cheap liquor" which politicians were giving to the public.[32] In February 2013, he announcedthe publication of his first novel in three years, set for April 2013; aside from the date of release, the announcement was intentionallyvague.[33]

At an October 2013 symposium held at the University of Hawaii,[34] associate professor of Japanese Nobuko Ochner opined "therewere many descriptions of traveling in a parallel world as well as characters who have some connection to shamanism"[35] inMurakami's works.

Recognition[edit]1982 Noma Literary Prize for A Wild Sheep Chase.

1985 Tanizaki Prize for Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

1995 Yomiuri Prize for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

2006 World Fantasy Award for Kafka on the Shore.

In 2006, Murakami became the sixth recipient of the Franz Kafka Prize.[36]

In September 2007, he received an honorary doctorate of Letters from the University of Liège,[37] one from Princeton University inJune 2008,[38] and one from Tufts University[39] in May 2014.

Murakami was awarded the 2007 Kiriyama Prize for Fiction for his collection of short stories Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, butaccording to the Kiriyama Official Website, Murakami "declined to accept the award for reasons of personal principle".[40]

In January 2009 Murakami received the Jerusalem Prize, a biennial literary award given to writers whose work deals with themes ofhuman freedom, society, politics, and government. There were protests in Japan and elsewhere against his attending the Februaryaward ceremony in Israel, including threats to boycott his work as a response against Israel's recent bombing of Gaza. Murakamichose to attend the ceremony, but gave a speech to the gathered Israeli dignitaries harshly criticizing Israeli policies.[41] Murakamisaid, "Each of us possesses a tangible living soul. The system has no such thing. We must not allow the system to exploit us."[42]

In 2011, Murakami donated his €80,000 winnings from the International Catalunya Prize (from the Generalitat of Catalunya) to thevictims of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and to those affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Accepting the award, hesaid in his speech that the situation at the Fukushima plant was "the second major nuclear disaster that the Japanese people haveexperienced... however, this time it was not a bomb being dropped upon us, but a mistake committed by our very own hands."According to Murakami, the Japanese people should have rejected nuclear power after having "learned through the sacrifice of thehibakusha just how badly radiation leaves scars on the world and human wellbeing".[43]

In recent years, Haruki Murakami has often been mentioned as a possible recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature.[44] Nonetheless,since all nomination records are sealed for 50 years from the awarding of the prize, it is pure speculation.[45] When asked about the

possibility of being awarded the Nobel Prize, Murakami responded with a laugh saying "No, I don't want prizes. That means you'refinished."[44]

Films and other adaptations[edit]Murakami's first novel Hear the Wind Sing (Kaze no uta o kike) was adapted by Japanese director Kazuki Ōmori. The film wasreleased in 1981 and distributed by Art Theatre Guild.[46] Naoto Yamakawa directed two short films Attack on the Bakery (released in1982) and A Girl, She is 100 Percent (released in 1983), based on Murakami's short stories "The Second Bakery Attack" and "OnSeeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" respectively.[47] Japanese director Jun Ichikawa adapted Murakami'sshort story "Tony Takitani" into a 75-minute feature.[48] The film played at various film festivals and was released in New York and LosAngeles on July 29, 2005. The original short story, translated into English by Jay Rubin, is available in the April 15, 2002 issue of TheNew Yorker, as a stand-alone book published by Cloverfield Press, and part of Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Knopf. In 1998, theGerman film Der Eisbaer (Polar Bear), written and directed by Granz Henman, used elements of Murakami's short story "The SecondBakery Attack" in three intersecting story lines. "The Second Bakery Attack" was also adapted as a short film in 2010,[49] directed byCarlos Cuaron, starring Kirsten Dunst.

Murakami's work was also adapted for the stage in a 2003 play entitled The Elephant Vanishes, co-produced by Britain's Complicitecompany and Japan's Setagaya Public Theatre. The production, directed by Simon McBurney, adapted three of Murakami's shortstories and received acclaim for its unique blending of multimedia (video, music, and innovative sound design) with actor-drivenphysical theater (mime, dance, and even acrobatic wire work).[50] On tour, the play was performed in Japanese, with supertitletranslations for European and American audiences.

Two stories from Murakami's book after the quake—"Honey Pie" and "Superfrog Saves Tokyo"—have been adapted for the stageand directed by Frank Galati. Entitled after the quake, the play was first performed at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company inassociation with La Jolla Playhouse, and opened on October 12, 2007, at Berkeley Repertory Theatre.[51] In 2008, Galati alsoadapted and directed a theatrical version of Kafka on the Shore, which first ran at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company fromSeptember to November.[52]

On Max Richter's 2006 album Songs from Before, Robert Wyatt reads passages from Murakami's novels. In 2007, Robert Logevalladapted "All God's Children Can Dance" into a film, with a soundtrack composed by American jam band Sound Tribe Sector 9. In2008, Tom Flint adapted "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" into a short film. The film was screened at the2008 CON-CAN Movie Festival. The film was viewed, voted, and commented upon as part of the audience award for the moviefestival.[53]

It was announced in July 2008 that French-Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung would direct an adaptation of Murakami's novel,Norwegian Wood.[54] The film was released in Japan on December 11, 2010.[55]

In 2010, Stephen Earnhart adapted The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle into a 2-hour multimedia stage presentation. The show openedJanuary 12, 2010, as part of the Public Theater's "Under the Radar" festival at the Ohio Theater in New York City,[56] presented inassociation with The Asia Society and the Baryshnikov Arts Center. The show had its world premiere at the Edinburgh InternationalFestival on August 21, 2011.[57] The presentation incorporates live actors, video projection, traditional Japanese puppetry, andimmersive soundscapes to render the surreal landscape of the original work.

Each short story in Murakami's after the quake collection was adapted into a six-song EP entitled .DC: JPN (after the quake 2011) inMarch 2011 following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami to help benefit the relief efforts by musician Dre Carlan.[58]

As a writer Haruki Murakami was influenced by Western literalists, which distinguished him from his fellow Japanese counterparts. Notonly exclusive to Western influence, Murakami consistently aimed to provide a sense of Japanese heritage throughout his books.Most of his works are written in the first–person point of view to provide the reader an understanding of what the main protagonistencounters. He states that because the “family” plays a significant role throughout traditional Japanese literature, by portraying themain character as an independent individual he becomes a man who values freedom and solitude over intimacy. Also notable isMurakami’s style of humor in his writing. Such scenarios are evident in the 2000 collection of short stories, after the quake. In"Superfrog Saves Tokyo", one story from the collection, the main protagonist is confronted with a 6 foot tall frog that talks about thedestruction of Tokyo over a cup of tea. While retaining a serious tone Murakami feels the reader should be entertained once theseriousness of a subject has been addressed. Another notable feature of Murakami’s stories is the comments that come from themain characters as to how strange the story presents itself. Murakami explains that his characters experience what he experiences ashe writes, which could be compared to a movie set where the walls and props are all fake.

Personal life[edit]After receiving the Gunzo Award for his 1979 literary work Hear the Wind Sing, Murakami did not aspire to meet other writers. Asidefrom Princeton’s Mary Morris who he briefly mentions in his memoir What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, alongside JoyceCarol Oates and Toni Morrison, Murakami was never a part of a community of writers, his reason being that he was a loner and was

Carol Oates and Toni Morrison, Murakami was never a part of a community of writers, his reason being that he was a loner and wasnever fond of groups, schools, and literary circles. When working on a book, Murakami states that he relies on his wife, who is alwayshis first reader. While he never acquainted himself with many writers, Murakami enjoyed the works of Ryu Murakami and BananaYoshimoto.

Haruki Murakami is a fan of crime novels. During his high school days while living in Kobe, he would buy paperbacks from secondhand book stores and learned to read English. The first book that he read in English was The Name is Archer, written by RossMacdonald in 1955. Other writers he was interested in included Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Murakami also has a passion for listening to music, especially classical and jazz. When he was around the age of 14 he began todevelop an interest in jazz. He would later open the Peter Cat, a coffeehouse and jazz bar. Murakami has said that music, like writing,is a mental journey. At one time he aspired to be a musician, but because he could not play instruments well he decided to become awriter instead.

The young man in the story is at a café with Murakami himself. He mailedMurakami one of his short stories (the content of which the real-life Murakami later turned into “Crabs”), and Murakami, charmedby the young man's interesting handwriting and somewhat impressed with the story itself, read all 70 pages and sent him a letterof suggestions. “Baseball Field” tells the story of their subsequent meeting over coffee."
