In fact, director Ryusuke Hamaguchi's latest movie Drive My Car is the most recent adaptation of Murakami's work and, with its multiple Academy Award nominations, arguably the most successful. Books being turned into movies may draw a sigh of disappoint, but not with Murakami. When translated into the film world, a movie based on Murakami seeps with his unique energy and modes of characterization. He looks to Western literature for inspiration, weaving in jazz and pop culture references to create a specific ambiance that sucks the reader into its world even if Japanese society was completely unfamiliar to them beforehand. Murakami’s work is a master look at surrealism, precise wording and imagery, and a departure from traditional Japanese literary styles. Regardless, he has helped bring Japanese literature to the forefront of mainstream literary publishing, helping pave the way for other contemporary authors such as Sayaka Murata and Mieko Kawakami. Murakami is a bestselling author globally, but some awards, like the Nobel Prize, have been considered his for the taking for years now - he has not managed to nab the Nobel Prize for Literature yet. That aside, Murakami fans and lovers of short stories will not be disappointed with this collection. Japanese author Haruki Murakami has established himself as one of the world’s biggest literary giants in the past couple of decades. The last story, Men without Women, is less a story than a stream of consciousness about love and loss and was (unusually for Murakami) unconvincing and self-pitying. ![]()
