show list info
Haruki Murakami is one of the biggest names in world literature, known for his unique interpretation of magical realism which has captured the imaginations of millions of readers around the world. Amplified global interest in Murakami's works has also resulted in increased awareness about Japanese literature even though he considers himself to be an outcast in his country's literary cycles. His stories has been adapted to several films like Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Drive My Car which recently scored four nominations at the Academy Awards. This has certainly not been the only adaptation that has received critical acclaim since Lee Chang-dong's 2018 masterpiece Burning was considered by many to be one of the greatest films of the last decade. Along with more interest in his books, now fans will be eager to see more adaptations of his wonderful novels as well.
