Haruki Murakami (born January 12, 1949) is a contemporary Japanese writer. Murakami's fiction, often criticized for being "pop" literature by Japan's literary establishment, is humorous and surreal, and at the same time digresses on themes of alienation, loneliness, and longing for love. Additionally, Murakami's writing has also been criticized because of his portraying Japan as obsessed with capitalism.
