A beautifully designed hardback diary for 2020, featuring unique artwork inspired by Haruki Murakami's works along with quotations and significant dates.
In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in
downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to
him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear
the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the
following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was
Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a
writer into a phenomenon.
In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk
About When I Talk About Running and Men Without Women, Murakami's
distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy
and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one
of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.
The best novelist on the planet
