From 65438 to 0978, he published the novel Norwegian Forest, which broke the original silence of Japanese literary world and created the "Haruki Murakami phenomenon". Haruki Murakami uses Japan's unique language style to outline the spiritual world of contemporary people through simple and expressive forms.
Haruki Murakami and the Loneliness in His Works
Most of the characters in Haruki Murakami's works are full of loneliness, such as his famous work Listening to the Wind and the best-selling book Norwegian Forest and Dance, which expose the irrationality under the highly developed capitalist system, as well as the fragility of human life and spiritual loneliness.
Although the characters in Murakami's works are lonely, they have been seeking contact with the outside world. "I" in dancing is lonely in a highly developed capitalist society, but I have not lost my sincerity. It is tired of life at the moment, but it never gives up on itself. "Sheep people" are also constantly returning to the real world through dancing and resuming communication with others.
The teenagers in Kafka by the Sea also broke through the barriers of loneliness through reading and embarked on a journey of spiritual redemption. Loneliness exists in life, and people can't eliminate it, but people can choose how to face it. Just like the characters in the works, life will be different if you change the way you treat loneliness.
