" Murakami Haruki is the man who writes books like a jazz composer. Delicatedly he places the words and sentences, like a composer writing a score. Although he writes about deep human emotions, he keeps the music in perfect rhythm and control, just like an orchestra conductor. His stories have longing and nostalgy. His stories will surprise you." -Artcle from Hanami Web - Inside Japan
