Together the chapters provide a multifaceted assessment on Murakami's literary oeuvre in the last four decades, vouching for its continuous importance in understanding the world and Japan in contemporary times. The book also features exclusive material that includes the cultural critic Katō Norihiro's final work on Murakami - his chapter here is one of the few works ever translated into English - to interviews with Murakami and discussions from his translators and editors, shedding light not only on Murakami's works as literature but as products of cross-cultural exchanges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMurakami Haruki and Our Years of Pilgrimage \u003c\/i\u003ewill prove a valuable resource for students and scholars of Japanese studies, comparative and world literature, cultural studies, and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGitte Marianne Hansen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies at Newcastle University, UK.
