In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, First Person Singular and The City and Its Uncertain Walls Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.

A story of love in a cool climate, intensely romantic and weepily beautiful...it is startlingly different: a true original

   Murakami på topp.
   Berättelsen har anknytning till hans eget liv. Engelskan är lätt att läsa. Förvånade att den inte är översatt till svenska. Den är en nyckelroman för förhoppningsvis nästa års nobelpristagare.
