Haruki Murakami: The Magic of Simplicity

With elegant prose, Haruki Murakami conjures magical worlds overlaying ours. Murakami's style of magical realism uses simple language to express feelings of loneliness and nostalgia.

We take a closer look at samples from his works:

Norwegian Wood
Kafka on the Shore
After Dark
A Wild Sheep Chase
1Q84
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
