Murakami Haruki (Japanese: 村上 春樹) is a popular contemporary Japanese writer and translator. His work has been described as 'easily accessible, yet profoundly complex'. He can be located on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/harukimuraka...
Since childhood, Murakami has been heavily influenced by Western culture, particularly Western music and literature. He grew up reading a range of works by American writers, such as Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan, and he is often distinguished from other Japanese writers by his Western influences.
Murakami studied drama at Waseda University in Tokyo, where he met his wife, Yoko. His first job was at a record store, which is where one of his main characters, Toru Watanabe in Norwegian Wood, works. Shortly before finishing his studies, Murakami opened the coffeehouse 'Peter Cat' which was a jazz bar in the evening in Kokubunji, Tokyo with his wife.
Many of his novels have themes and titles that invoke classical music, such as the three books making up The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: The Thieving Magpie (after Rossini's opera), Bird as Prophet (after a piano piece by Robert Schumann usually known in English as The Prophet Bird), and The Bird-Catcher (a character in Mozart's opera The Magic Flute). Some of his novels take their titles from songs: Dance, Dance, Dance (after The Dells' song, although it is widely thought it was titled after the Beach Boys tune), Norwegian Wood (after The Beatles' song) and South of the Border, West of the Sun (the first part being the title of a song by Nat King Cole).
Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's novel is at once a classic quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.
我像星野君翻过入口之石为了关闭入口一样的合上了《海边的卡夫卡》。这一天真是好漫长啊,我注意了一下我开始读的日期,书的扉页上我曾经用那青涩的文字写下2003.7.3,书的最后却被我写上了2006.4.3。三年零三个月,说奇怪又不奇怪的时间。怎么回用这么长的时间来读一本书呢...
评分缓慢转动的蓝色星球其实被分割为两层。上面一层的人们新鲜蓬勃如初摘水果,他们进商厦购物,进图书馆查阅,进咖啡店吃三明治,去异地旅行;下面一层生存的则是跳脱出人们实体的“活灵”,它们形态各异,也有老人,儿童,中年男女,也有的状似绿植,鸟类,波纹,在这里时间...
评分笔者深爱村上,他的作品中又最爱《海》。本文是作者倾尽对《海》数年间数遍通读所累积的理解,做出的尝试性全面解读。梳理剧情,分析人物,解读隐喻,对比村上其他作品(尤其是《世界尽头冷酷仙境》),并尝试用后现代主义的视角,分析《海》的文理结构。本文目前是坑,但在下...
评分似乎每个少年都有过离家出走的冲动。厌倦于日复一日单调的家庭生活,于是向往着远方未知的历险。当然,真正的叛逆者并不多,那只是我们青春岁月短暂的幻想之旅而已。但是,这种冲动潜伏在我们的血液中,成为许多人长大成人后写作的动力。 村上春树的小说都来源于他年轻时的经...
评分17岁的时候,收到过一封来自林少华先生的信。 昨天在家整理旧信件,简直都是看起来惨不忍睹的小女生花花绿绿强说愁。而这一封从中国海洋大学外国语学院发出,白信封白信纸,我猛然想起也曾有过这一等事发生过。 “xx君: 你好,还记得你五月十九日给我写的信吗?回信这么晚...
命运的沙暴无非是让人无处可遁,唯一的得救之道就是走进其中,最坚强的十五岁少年,不是单纯到想看看凭着自己的力量能够逃避多久,想找到出口必须先找到入口,不管选择面对还是逃避忘却还是铭记,你心里最隐蔽的私人图书馆终也不会消失。
评分朗读者读得很好,尤其是猫的部分。那场沙丁鱼雨非常超现实。中田的智商可能确实不高,但是他的情商很高,所有人都对他很好,他搭车的时候,所有的司机都愿意跟他讨论他们生活中遇到的问题。还有,妓女给嫖客讲解海德格尔的那一段非常搞笑
评分The theme intangible to me
