Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can totally understand your view and feelings. To me, reading Murakami feels like returning to a game that I have been playing 1000 times already because it was exactly what I needed by that time. I need this dose of a hole in the ground, a nameless character who tries to escape from reality, tells us what he cooks or what music he is listening to. And even though I can totally understand those people that call him repetitive, it‘s just the style that I need. I am also interested to see if or what we can expect from him in the future. Maybe he does the Tarantino style and just completes a certain number of works until he views his vita as completed - with the small difference that he won’t tell us because he is that shy 😄 Great video!
I feel like there’s not many writers truly like Murakami, some may be imitations or just as good in their own way. His writing style has evolved but still has the tint of Murakami existentialism, although some releases may not be as good as each other, it allows us to know what we like and what we don’t like I guess. Thank you for this
There are a lot of good Japanese writers that are arguably better than murakami but murakami gets all of the attention from that country. He's basically the only Asian writer most westerners pay attention to which is a shame. Just saying there are more voices out there.

Good essay.
Thank you!!
what's the song playing in the background?
It’s a jazz song from Murakami’s vinyl collection that I messed with in Logic Pro. I don’t remember what it’s called but I’ll try to find it.
Almost Blue by Chet Baker, amazing trumpeter, tragic ending to his life
