A review by huangv
Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words by Jay Rubin

3.0

If you're a fan of Haruki Murakami's work, this is the book for you. Jay Rubin walks through Murakami's body of work (translated and untranslated) to flush out the author.

Did you know that he had a website where he openly answered reader questoins? (Questions ranged from material from his book to relationship advice).

His books have been translated out-of-order. Learning the timeline for his books was insightful in understanding how he has evolved as a writer.

While reading the book, all I wanted to do was reread his body of work.

It's a good thing, because I just ordered his "newest" book--After Dark--which was written back in 2004.
