Product Description

Product Description

Cats slink across the pages; the seasons are marked by cherry blossom and Japanese maple; spaghetti strands or telephone cords separate the days; and a generous selection of quotations and extracts from Murakami's novels and stories appear on almost every page to inspire, amuse or entertain. This is a diary like no other, faithful to all that is witty, surreal, sexy and beautiful in Murakami's work. A must-have for fans of Murakami, fans of Vintage fiction and fans of unique design, this diary will appeal to everyone as a quirky companion for 2009.


About the Author

Haruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949. Following the publication of his first novel in Japanese in 1979, he sold the jazz bar he ran with his wife and became a full-time writer. It was with the publication of Norwegian Wood -- which has to date sold more than 4 million copies in Japan alone -- that the author was truly catapulted into the limelight. Known for his surrealistic world of mysterious (and often disappearing) women, cats, earlobes, wells, Western culture, music and quirky first-person narratives, he is now Japan's best-known novelist abroad. Nine novels, three short story collections and one work of non-fiction are currently available in English translation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, 7 Sep 2008
Firstly the price on Amazon is really good (£9.99 in stores) and secondly its a beautiful diary as odd and as surreal as Murakami Diary ought to be. Its full off quotes, pictures and facts about the books.However, some of the days are that full after a quote its hard to fit any writing in, plus it comes in a dust cover which most people like but i find really annoying, because underneath its plain white and looks dull. But over all its a unique diary and a must have for Murakami Fans! P.S If there was a 4.5 option I would have given it that!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Murakami cool, in diary form!, 18 Sep 2008
This is a sweet little diary full of quotes, book covers and associated Murakami paraphernalia; liberally sprinkled with book histories, publishing dates and Japanese holidays.

It's very beautiful, and even comes in a dust jacket, and despite all there is to be enjoyed it still feels quite minimalist; the black and white and red styling complimenting the character of Murakami's novels perfectly.

From a bibliophile's point of view, it is certainly a valued item to keep alongside Murakami's wonderful novels. The only problem i can see is exactly why you would want to write in it at all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, 1 Mar 2009
By Barney McGrew "Charlie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
What an excellent idea! Examples of Murakami's rich and ethereal prose grace this pocket-sized diary, with quotes from his novels scattered like confetti throughout the pages. On top of this there are great little snapshots that also link in to Murakami's work, such as novel covers, cats and cherry blossom. The diary has a dust-jacket and is simply and beautifully designed as per the image above. There is plenty of room for entries and I am loving using this diary immensely. It's so cool I almost wanted to keep it intact but that would have been a waste.
