4 part interview with Haruki Murakami.
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
A coworker of mine is always talking to me about Murakami. Today I went out and bought three of his novels after reading that interview. I have read one of his short stories, and it stood out to me as being decidedly strange, and decidedly engrossing. I am looking forward to some more of his surrealist, weird ass writing.

I’ve read Norwegian Wood, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, and South of the Border, West of the Sun. I like Norwegian Wood the best of the three, and found The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles a bit too surreal for my tastes, but all in all he’s a very good writer.
