Kafka by the sea in 2002
introduce ...
When the basic idea of Kafka by the Sea appeared, the idea in my mind was to write a story with a boy of 15 as the protagonist. As for how the story develops, I have no idea (I always don't expect the story to develop when writing novels). Anyway, I want to set a teenager as the protagonist. This is the most basic theme of my novel. ...
Kafkajun Tamura, the hero, is not an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy who can be seen everywhere. Abandoned by his mother and cursed by his father when he was young, he was determined to "become the most tenacious fifteen-year-old boy in the world". He was immersed in deep loneliness, silently exercising, dropping out of school and leaving home, and going to a strange distance alone. No matter how you look at it-in Japan or maybe in China-it's hard to say that this is the average image of a boy 15 years old.
Haruki Murakami's latest novel sold 800,000 copies in Japan for half a year. Haruki Murakami prefaces China readers for the first time. Teenagers cursed by fate have gone far away, their hearts collide between hope and despair, and the world wanders between reality and virtuality.

The highly anticipated novel Kafka by the Sea by Haruki Murakami was voted as the No.1 book list in 2002 by readers of Da Vinci magazine in Japan this year 1 month, which made readers burst out with a warm response of "eager to read" with amazing charm. Murakami has been popular with readers since he entered the literary world, and the momentum has not diminished for more than 20 years. In recent years, the "Murakami phenomenon" towards internationalization has gradually warmed up. The launch of this novel has made many commentators exclaim that "Murakami is getting closer and closer to the Nobel Prize".
This is a story that can make people forget the real time from the moment they start reading. Many readers have mentioned that Kafka by the Sea makes people enjoy reading novels again and want to know the ending as soon as possible, but after reading it, they have a mixed mood and feel it is a pity to read the story. "Critics and readers all praised this work as one of Haruki Murakami's best masterpieces, which is why it won wide support from readers at the age of 10 to 40.
Novels are good at setting suspense, and the plot is often unexpected, concise and compact, and full of traction to induce readers to read the whole article in one breath. In this novel, dreams seem to have metaphorical meaning. The author destroyed the high wall between dream and reality, reality and surrealism, this world and that world, filled the insurmountable gap between this world and that world, and created a set of independent logical discourse. Characterization is also very distinctive and mysterious, full of modernity and symbolism. "This work seems to be a novel that exposes the inherent evil of human beings, and it can also be said that it is a novel that explores how to get rid of the rigid shell of self-loneliness," said a critic.
After dark in 2004

The story takes place in Tokyo in winter, and the time span is only from 12 in the afternoon to 6: 07 in the morning. It describes a pair of young sisters with two parallel lines, one sleeping in the dark and the other thinking and acting.
This 19-year-old girl, beautiful, is a "prostitute" who was smuggled to China by illegal Japanese and forced to pick up guests. Shortly after the novel began, a tragic scene appeared: after dark, when she was receiving guests at the Love Hotel, she was beaten black and blue by a Japanese named Shirakawa and her clothes were taken away. She curled up naked in the corner, with tears in her eyes and blood all over the sheets. Mary, the heroine who was reading alone in a restaurant late at night, can speak Chinese. Through the introduction of Gao Qiao, a college student who plays trombone, she was hired as an interpreter by the hotel manager to deal with this "trouble", and the story spread like this.
Shirakawa in Murakami's book can be said to be a typical example of the "evil" of the Japanese nation. He is dedicated, diligent and gentle, but his life is rigid and his thoughts are stubborn. After the violence, he continued to work overtime without any sense of evil. Professor Lin, a famous translator, wrote in the postscript: "This evil is different from terrorism and totalitarianism, and it is also different from ...

After the violence, he continued to work overtime without any sense of evil. Professor Lin, a famous translator, wrote in the postscript: "This evil is different from the evil of terrorists and totalitarianism, from the evil of hegemonism across the Pacific, and from the evil of ordinary criminals such as murder and arson. It happens in Japanese society and is not limited to Japanese society, so it is an evil that should be more vigilant. " After writing Kafka by the Sea, Murakami himself said that he would like to write something as evil as symbolic and detailed reality next time. In the final analysis, evil is associated with such qualities as meanness, cowardice and lack of imagination. "
I just listed all his novels here. Personally, I think Haruki Murakami's greatest literary achievement lies in novels. The first time I saw his work was Norwegian Forest. To tell you the truth, I am very touched. I am a boy, and there are no works that I can watch in the dormitory at night. Moreover, when I finish reading this book, I will imagine Naoko's appearance and what kind of girl Naoko is in my mind. I was deeply attracted by Murakami's works. His unique techniques and many classic languages are full of helplessness and thinking. Later, I also watched South of the Border, West of the Sun, Listening to the Wind, Kafka by the Sea and other works. I will recommend these books to you. I'm sure you will like them. His works need quiet reading and have a very good feeling.
