Why do I like Haruki Murakami?
Murakami has an excellent imagination. Unlike any other, I think. His ideas are familiar yet novel, universal yet singular. He is also very skilled at writing mudane events and activities in a very satisfying and enjoyable way.
How would you describe Haruki Murakami’s writing?
When Murakami writes a story, he seems to take a long, hard look at its contours, exploring the most magical and bizarre way it could unfold, exploring possibilities, upending the normal. “When you write stories, you must not look away from it,” he told Asahi Shimbun.
What makes Haruki Murakami so good?
He doesn’t depend on fantasy tropes, character conventions or anything like that. He has his own unique brand of surrealistic, fantasy writing. He is known for writing from the moment he wakes up (around 4am or 5am) until midday. He describes this as a version of dreaming, and his writing reads that way.
