Haruki Murakami livre Kafka sur le rivage
Kafka on the Shore
Haruki Murakami est un écrivain japonais contemporain. Auteur de romans à succès, mais aussi de nouvelles et d'essais, Murakami a reçu une douzaine de prix et autres distinctions. Traduit en cinquante langues et édité à des millions d'exemplaires, il est un des auteurs japonais contemporains les plus lus au monde.
Murakami est également reconnu au Japon comme traducteur de l'anglais en japonais , et comme journaliste-essayiste .
Revendiquant des influences allant de Raymond Chandler à Kurt Vonnegut en passant par Richard Brautigan et Franz Kafka, Murakami est rapproché de la littérature postmoderniste. Ses récits sont appréciés pour leur forme de réalisme magique qui voit la quête picaresque se teinter de romantisme ou de surréalisme, et l'enquête policière flirter avec le fantastique ou la science-fiction ; y affleurent la poésie et l'humour, malgré la dimension mélancolique de leurs narrateurs qui évoquent obliquement des thèmes existentiels tels que la solitude, l'incommunicabilité et l'aliénation au sein de la postmodernité des sociétés capitalistes.

A Long Way from The Stuffed Cabbage (short story)

Contexte: Painful is the stress when one cannot reproduce or convey vividly to others, however hard he tries, what he's experienced so intensely. In my case, the stronger is the intention to "write about a particular subject in a particular way," the harder it becomes to start writing and to express myself. This stress somewhat resembles the irritation one feels when he cannot describe to another person what he experienced so vividly and realistically in his dreams. All words I use to narrate my feeling of the moment fail incessantly to describe what I wish to, and then they begin to betray me.
