/lit/ - Literature

in Japan
Murakami is called "Stupidkami"
only babies read him
mothers read him to their children to put them asleep

Doesn't Murakami translate a shit load of English books. Also your broken English needs some work.

Kafka on the shore > Genji Monogatari

Hi, i'm from Japanese too
Murakami is a wanted criminal in Japan
he is famous because he is on the news all night and day
he accuse rape and kill young boy six seven years
books are read because of infamy

He's the most popular author in Japan right now though.

Am Yuno from Japan your site is a very cute many cute picture ＾＿＾

i lived in japan for a few years
and let me tell you murakamki is laughed at there
mostly because he's ugly
he was consistently voted in public polls as one of the ugliest japanese in history
his popularity is exaggerated by his ugliness isn't

>>5362637
>I am Japanese. I live in Japan.
>you American are bad
No Japanese is this blunt and rude

Honourable Murakami-san will not stand for this. You'd all better sodoku before he gets back.

yeah on amazon the Japanese preorders for his latest book broke records. so I guess he's popular.

I like him. He's no Kenzaburo Oe but he doesn't try to be either. I think his books are mature. Depends on how you look at it.

>>5362723
>the writer is ugly!

I say this as a guy who thinks Murakami's work is puerile and never worth the read:
Who cares. He's not famous for beauty pageants.

hello america friends. do you like sushi? is name is takushi and i work on a susshi shop. in japan murakami is known to "hentai" mean pervert who steal gal's panty and put them on head and sniff and harrass too women in train station

>>5362749
>Murakami's work is puerile

oh, /lit/, how i love you

I am the Japan
I have seen Murakami in maid cafe serving beer in frilly dress in Akiba
Very much the disgusting appearances
His book read like cheeseburger

>>5362732
>he hasn't been to /int/

haruki murakami was invented by the new yorker

>>5362769
i was waiting for someone to point this out

"haruki murakami" is a bit like "post-structuralism" or "film noir," a style that is invented by outsiders speaking more of their distance from the works in question than anything innate in them. "haruki murakami" isn't a real person. nor is he a collective of writers. he's merely the concept of a japanese writer for western audiences marketed for maximum recognizability.

>>5362762
>I am the Japan

dude, your posts are like poetry

>>5362762
A haiku for every line.

Damn I love you

>>5362637
What is the best japanese writors, japan?

I wonder if he'll ever be as good as he was with Hard-Boiled...
I read everything, hoping he will reach that level again.

>>5362762
>Murakami is a trap
I will go on living thinking this is true.

>>5362757
>there's at least 2 people on lit, are one person with a spilit personality

>>5362733
Translation into actual Japanese:

>honourabu Murakami-sama wiru sushi desu stando this. Whitu piggu commit sudoku toyota desu!

howaito amerika son of the she dog is not wercome to isles of great yamato u wanto pear harba u wanto terebi ted danson cheers fak U

typical haruki murakami fan

Has anyone read his recent book? What did you think? I just finished it yesterday, I was slightly disappointed.

>>5362762
His book read like cheeseburger.

Why did I laugh at this so hard?

>>5363121

I read Norwegian wood a while and enjoyed it but didn't find it very thought provoking. Is Kafka on the Shore better for that?

>>5363123
I did, too. Also don't know why.

Bored man desperate people
Kid grows but mature disappoints
Escape search fantasy in mature
Kid finds Murakami

>>5363296
Hard-boiled wonderland and 1Q84 are the more interesting stories.
but overall, he's just not a very thought-provoking author.
He's kind of like a Kurt Vonnegut type where he simplifies the unbelievable happenings into something that feels ordinary.

>>5362845
>>5363210
Akutagawa, Dazai, Mishima

>>5363350
I thought that was part of the point of intentionally "post-modern" literature.

reddit level response for the shittest pretend

/lit/ right now = abso-lutely dis-quasting

>>5364777
Just noticed that pic related is LAN port

Fucking back to reddit you human excrement

>>5362637
Yes this it is true. Writor is very very bad
MISHIMA writor is better than stupidkami
Only mishima is true samurai
mishima bring glory for japanese people
Stupidkami bring shame on gloryous JAPAN

>>5362642
>mothers read him to their children to put them asleep
I chuckled at this bit.

>>5362637
this... fucking thread.
all those jelly fish japs

i like him. reading his newst book and enjoying it.

>>5362637
Hello Japan. Is Mishima popular? Does Japan like the suicide samurai? I imagine he's the nip version of Henry Rollins.

>>5362732
>No Japanese is this blunt and rude
you've never worked with japanese people, eh?

>this thread
>mfw

Murakami thread still of life?
Maximum amount of shame.
Emperor's tears.
Murakami worst samurai, as literature as white individuals of pig family.
Shame.
