Japanese author of Norwegian Wood and 1Q84, known for surrealism and deep character psychology.
Literature is about the inner life, the life of the soul.
If it works, keep doing it. If it doesn't, try something else.
I write to have an outlet for my thoughts and feelings.
I look at ordinary life and find the extraordinary within it.
Cinema and literature are different languages for the same emotions.
Distance between people is sometimes physical, sometimes emotional.
Surrealism helps us understand reality better.
