Murakami hits out at Japanese nationalism
Haruki Murakami has spoken about his fears for his country amid a rise in Japanese nationalism, and revealed plans to deal with the issue in his next novel. "I'm worried about my country," the author told the South China Morning Post, an English-language newspaper based in Hong-Kong. "I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something." He singled out Shintaro Ishihara, the right-wing go
The lone wolf
HARUKI MURAKAMI would seem the very picture of the Japanese writer-prophet. He gazes out over the rooftops of Tokyo's chic suburb of Ayoama, speaking in low, urgent tones about Japan's rightward lurch. "I am worrying about my country," says the 57-year-old writer, widely considered Japan's Nobel laureate-in-waiting. "I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something." He is particularly
生原稿流出 物故作家ならどうする？ : 出版トピック : 本よみうり堂 : YOMIURI ONLINE（読売新聞）
村上春樹氏の生原稿が古書市場に流出した問題に関連し、日本文芸家協会（黒井千次理事長）は、作家の生原稿や書簡の扱いについて古書店や出版社に声明などで注意喚起することを決めた。６月にも具体化するが、この問題を討議した同協会の理事会では、興味深い指摘があった。 同協会は、１９７１年、未公表の書簡などを無断公開することは、「著作者人格権の侵害であり、プライバシーの侵犯になる」との警告の要望書を古書店の組合などに送付。これを受け古書店の組合でも、現存する作家の生原稿、書簡の売買を禁じる通達を回したという。理事会では、「こうした通達が古書店の代替わりで顧みられなくなっている」として、新たな声明を出す方針では一致した。 課題としてあがったのは、本人の同意なく流出した可能性が高い現存作家の原稿と同様に、物故作家の原稿まで一律に規制すべきかどうかということ。 古書店主でもある作家の出久根達郎理事は、生原稿が

Harvard Gazette: Murakami is explorer of imagination
Writer and visiting artist-in-residence at the Reischauer Institute Haruki Murakami explains that he can get his ideas for short stories 'from a piece of conversation, a haunting memory, a dream, or something overheard in a restaurant' — or a T-shirt he bought in Hawaii. (Staff photos Kris Snibbe/Harvard News Office) Haruki Murakami may not be a household word in the United States, but his name tr
The Harvard Crimson :: Magazine :: Translating Murakami
This is not your typical photo shoot. Haruki Murakami smiles at the camera with a discomfort that belies his popstar-like fame as one of Japan’s best-selling authors. His pop-culture rich novels featuring intelligent, urban, isolated characters have formed a new literary genre in Japan, its authors called “Murakami’s Children.” Harvard Professor of Japanese Literature Jay Rubin, who has translated
