Overview
For literary enthusiasts, Haruki Murakami is the clear star of this festival.
His culturally transcendent books exist in over 50 languages, and have collected a plethora of international awards. Murakami has a unique style of Kafkaesque works with dominating themes of loneliness and isolation, which incorporate fantasy and magical realism. His most notable works include the 1987 novel Norwegian Wood which deals with loss, love and suicide; his 1995 novel The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle which is a historical fiction that deals with war crimes in Manchukuo; and the three volume novel 1Q84 published from 2009-2010, which is a bizarre-dystopian-love-epic.
In this hour-long event US editor and writer John Freeman talks with Murakami.
