I shine a spotlight on one of my favorite authors—the author who got me into reading—Haruki Murakami. Known for his surreal tales of loneliness and longing, Murakami's novels connected with me in my early twenties and showed me that yes, I am a reader. I unabashedly love his works. I share how I discovered Murakami, a bit about the man himself, and where to start if you're interested.
Chapters:
00:00 - Intro
02:50 - Discovering Murakami
10:00 - About Murakami
14:15 - The Runner
16:30 - The Range of Murakami
21:31 - My Favorites
22:37 - Where to Start
29:26 - Closing Thoughts
I fully intend to cover all of his books on my channel, and this is just the beginning. There's so much to explore and share—from his novels to his short stories to the handful of adaptions of his work. I'm looking forward to it.
