Then there are the increasingly explicit telephone calls he has recently been receiving. As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided however obscurely by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell. HARUKI MURAKAMI In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Men Without Women, Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers. Edad: Adultos MURAKAMI HARUKI Kioto, 1949. El más popular y prestigioso autor japonés vivo, ganador de numerosos premios literarios dentro y fuera de su país. Nieto de un monje budista e hijo de profesores de literatura japonesa, estudió en la Universidad de Waseda, pero se formó, sobre todo, escuchando jazz, viendo películas de Hollywood y leyendo a autores como Richard Brautigan, Jack Kerouac o Kurt Vonnegut. Ese fervor por la cultura norteamericana lo llevó a dirigir durante años un club de jazz y, después, a traducir a autores como Raymond Carver, John Irving, J. D. Salinger, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote o Paul Theroux. A los veintinueve años, escribió su primera novela, Kaze no uta o kike Escucha la canción del viento . Después, vendrían libros notables, mezcla de realismo y de fábula, como Crónica del pájaro que da cuerda al mundo, Tokio Blues Norwegian Wood , Kafka en la orilla y 1Q84.
