Haruki Murakami - Japan's Most Successful Novelist

On this page you will find my book review of Water Lily by Susanna Jones about a Japanese woman teacher who has an affair with a pupil and then worrying about being discovered she flees the country for Shanghai.

But also on this page you will see a 50 minute programme about Haruki Murakami, Japan's most successful novelist.

Murakami was a baby boomer growing up in the sixties with all that entails. His strange books have been translated into 40 languages.

The programme was made by Alan Yentob of the BBC and you can see that and read the book review on this page.

Thank you for visiting and reading.
