Wherever he releases a new novel ---- every three or five years--- there’s an increase in interest. His 1987 novel Norwegian wood 《(挪威的森林》）， named after a Beatles song, became a classic among young Japanese, selling more than 4 million copies in Japan alone. His latest novel Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage published in April, sold more than one million copies in its first month.
The novelist who sells in the millions but keeps away from the public is Haruki Murakami(村上春树）
If you see eager fans waiting outside bookshops in London or New York at midnight, if it’s not for something Harry Potter, it will be Haruki Murakami’s latest novel. To date, Murakami’s work has been translated into 42 languages and appeared on best-seller lists across the world.
So why the excitement? Though Murakami’s books are set in Japan, his subjects of loneliness, boredom and loss, resonate(共鸣） with readers everywhere.
He was the first Japanese author whom readers stopped perceiving as Japanese. You may see some mention of cherry blossoms and other Japanese symbols in the book title but as yu read the book itself, these soon disappear.
