On my 15th birthday, I'll run away from home, journey to a far-off town and live in a corner of a small library. It sounds like a fairy tale, but it's no fairy tale, believe me, no matter what sort of spin you put on it.
Among these library bookshelves, Murakami was able to indulge his passion for foreign novels.
Here's James Joyce's Dubliners, and we can find Kafka here. But his special passion as an adolescent was the 20th century American fiction. This is The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger which, interestingly enough, has been translated in this edition by Haruki Murakami.
After a year of hanging out in the library, he passed the exam to study in Tokyo, in the Department of Literature at the prestigious Waseda University. Newly arrived in the capital, his parents arranged for him to stay in a private dormitory, close to Waseda, Wakeijuku. Little change since Murakami was there 40 years ago, Wakei features prominently in Murakami's most popular novel, Norwegian Wood. |
