In Japan nennen ihn konservative Kritiker und Schriftstellerkollegen "batakusai - nach Butter stinkender Wessi", die anderen halten ihn für den Literaturnobelpreisträger der Zukunft. Haruki Murakami polarisiert mit seinen Geschichten und Romanen. Wie seine Helden entzieht er sich der anonymen Masse. Seine Romanfiguren werden in der japanischen Gesellschaft, in der angepasstes Verhalten von existentieller Bedeutung ist, als einsame Wölfe gebrandmarkt.
