Haruki Murakami - The Paris Review, Summer 2004 (via murakamistuff)
(Source: theparisreview.org, via murakamistuff)
"I want my readers to laugh sometimes. Many readers in Japan read my books on the train while commuting. The average salaryman spends two hours a day commuting and he spends those hours reading. That’s why my big books are printed in two volumes: They would be too heavy in one. Some people write me letters, complaining that they laugh when they read my books on the train! It’s very embarrassing for them. Those are the letters I like most. I know they are laughing, reading my books; that’s good. I like to make people laugh every ten pages."

Haruki Murakami - 1Q84 (via murakamistuff)
(Source: kindlequotes, via murakamistuff)
"If you belong to the majority, you can avoid thinking about lots of troubling things."
Reminder: Norwegian Wood comes to US theaters today. Go for it, all you Americans out there.
Interesting side note: The Wall Street Journal put up an article on how Haruki Murakami helped writing the first drafts of Trần Anh Hùng’s screenplay for the film. Trần:
“I was really happy because it was important for me that Murakami recognize his work in the movie. For me it’s like drawing the portrait of someone – it should look like the person.”
Read the full story over here.
I believe that right now it’s only playing in NYC. I hope it gets a wide release soon!
