Intro to Haruki Murakami


Listen Later

I shine a spotlight on one of my favorite authors—the author who got me into reading—Haruki Murakami. Known for his surreal tales of loneliness and longing, Murakami's novels connected with me in my early twenties and showed me that yes, I am a reader. I unabashedly love his works. I share how I discovered Murakami, a bit about the man himself, and where to start if you're interested. 

Chapters:

  • 00:00 - Intro
  • 02:50 - Discovering Murakami
  • 10:00 - About Murakami
  • 14:15 - The Runner
  • 16:30 - The Range of Murakami
  • 21:31 - My Favorites
  • 22:37 - Where to Start
  • 29:26 - Closing Thoughts
  • My plan is to (re)read through all Murakami's work and make dedicated episodes for each one. I'm really looking forward to it!
