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.

Contexte: First, about the mind. You tell me there is no fighting or hatred or desire in the Town. That this is a beautiful dream, and I do want your happiness. But the absence of fighting or hatred or desire also means the opposites do not exist either. No joy, no communion, no love. Only where there is disillusionment and depression and sorrow does happiness arise; without the despair of loss, there is no hope.
