“What lies behind this phenomenal international appeal (of Murakami)? The Japan Foundation asked novelists, translators, artists, and critics from around the world to answer this questions.”
This is a collection of essays from a set of symposiums sponsored by The Japan Foundation in 2006 entitled “A Wild Haruki Chase: How the World is Reading and Translating Murakami”. Richard Powers (American Novelist) was the keynote speaker. Translators and Critics included Alfred Birnbaum (United States), Ted Goossen (Canada), Jay Rubins (United States), Leung Ping-kwan (Hong Kong), and Lai Ming-Chu (Taiwan), among others from around the world. I have valued all the essays, especially the one by Shinya Machida, a staff writer for the Yomiuri Shinbun, entitled “Contemporary Japanese Literature Finds a Global Following”.
