This book is a timely and expansive volume on Murakami Haruki, arguably Japan' s most high profile contemporary writer. With contributions from prominent Murakami scholars, this book approaches the works of Murakami Haruki through interdisciplinary perspectives, discussing their significance and value through the lenses of history; geography; politics; gender and sexuality; translation; literary influence and circulation. Chapters together provide a multi-faceted assessment on Murakami' s literary oeuvre in the last four decades, vouching for its continuous importance in understanding the world and Japan in contemporary times. The book also features exclusive material that includes the cultural critic Kato Norihiro' s final work on Murakami - his chapter here one of the few works ever translated into English - to interviews with Murakami and discussions from his translators and editors, shedding light not only on Murakami' s work as literature but as products of cross-cultural exchanges. Murakami Haruki and Our Years of Pilgrimage will prove a valuable resource for students and scholars of Japanese studies, comparative and world literature, cultural studies, and beyond.
