Haruki Murakami Goes to Meet Hayao Kawai

Wrote a review for

Really interesting read for Murakami-heads like myself as Haruki talks with Jungian psychotherapist Hayao Kawai.

Topics cover Japan and the Japanese psyche, the West, and storytelling. I wish I had read this after finishing The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle as the conversation took place shortly after its release in Japan and a lot of the topics discussed relate to the book in some way.

Unfortunately, I think I've now read everything by Murakami published in English. Hurry up with a new one!
