  Jay

|
Besides being the distinguished translator of Murakami's work,
Professor Jay Rubin is a self-confessed fan. He has written
a book for other fans who want to know more about this reclusive
writer. He reveals the autobiographical elements in Murakami's
fiction; explains how he developed a distinctive new style in
Japanese; and how, on his return to Japan from America, he came
to regard the Kobe earthquake (in which his parents' house was
destroyed) and the Tokyo subway gas attack as twin manifestations
of a violence lying just beneath the surface of Japanese life.
Since 1993 Rubin has been studying Murakami's writing, interviewing
him, and collaborating with him in preparing his works for
an English-speaking audience.
