At age fifty-six, with ten books behind him, Japanese author Haruki Murakami is now recognized as one of the world's important novelists. Beyond Haruki Murakami, Banana Yoshimoto and Kenzaburo Oe is a whole world of the imagination that has been locked away in a box reserved for Japanese readers. Only 54, he is still in mid-career, yet two critical books in English focusing on his work--Matthew Strecher's Dances with Sheep, reviewed here, and Jay Rubin's Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words (London: The Harvill Press, 2002)---have appeared in the past year. |
