[close] As Murakami once said: "When we talk about a story, the author and the reader have equal rights to access that text. You don’t have to admire me as an author. We are equal. It’s a very democratic world, the world of narrative," READING HARUKI MURAKAMI is our form of tribute to Haruki Murakami and his works, a place for us, his readers, to exchange views, discuss, criticize, and analyze Murakami's works. The intention is simple: to share influences from his works to ourselves, and eventually, we will love and understand his works even more. Indeed "... It's a very democratic world, the world of narrative."
