Japanese writer Haruki Kukami "Norwegian Wood"

Born in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan in 1949, he grew up in Kobe. Kobe is a seaport where it is easy to meet foreigners and obtain English books. This new generation of writers, who was influenced by European and American culture, came into being. The style of Murakami's works is deeply influenced by foreign literature, and his works are full of the anguish of urban life and the delicacy of human feelings.
