MURAKAMI, Haruki

MURAKAMI, Haruki
(1949-)
   Japanese writer of very considerable popularity whose Hitsuji o meguru boken (1982; trans Alfred Birnbaum as A Wild Sheep Chase 1989 US) tumbles a bevy of eccentric protagonists into a chase for a fabricated sheep in a style that mixes FABULATION and nightmare; the sequel is Dansu Dansu Dansu (1988; trans Alfred Birnbaum as Dance Dance Dance 1994 US).Sekai no owar to hard-boiled wonderland (1985; trans Alfred Birnbaum as Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World 1991 US), which is marginally more conventional, depicts a WAR for data in a NEAR FUTURE Japan that has become definable as a nest of information. The ElephantVanishes (coll trans Alfred Birnbaum and Jay Rubin 1993 US) assembles shorter works.
