Description

Book Synopsis
Murakami Haruki is perhaps the best-known and most widely translated Japanese author of his time. Bringing a comparative perspective to the study of Murakami's fiction, Suter complicates our understanding of the author's oeuvre and highlights his contributions not only as a popular writer but also as a cultural critic on both sides of the Pacific.

Trade Review
This timely and thought-provoking work, which focuses on Murakami's short stories and applies a mixture of sophisticated literary theory and close reading, is a most welcome addition to previous critical writing on the author. -- Matthew C. Strecher * Journal of Japanese Studies *
