Murakami’s style is defined by cross sections of raw human experience, fused with one part dutiful realism and another part complete lunacy. The manuscript he sent in was his only copy, and the piece was only reintroduced into his consciousness when he received a notification that he was a finalist for the prize. He submitted the work to Gunzo for the New Writers’ Prize, then forgot about it. He burst onto the scene in 1979 with his gritty novella, Hear the Wind Sing, a fragmented short story about an unnamed protagonist’s return to his hometown during the summer after a year away at college.
Murakami is considered by many to be Japan’s finest contemporary author. Haruki Murakami is not (quite) a musician, but he has a greater command of music as an art form than most musicians I know, myself included.
