    Calling all Murakami aficionados! This one's a great excuse to re-read ALL of Murakami in chronological order and then dive into this enjoyable book by his translator and Number One fan.

    An excellent book that tracks Murakami's career from Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball all the way up until just before his latest book, Kafka on the Shore was published.

    Jay Rubin, Murakami's translator and one of his biggest fans, critically examines Murakami's work, weaving a tale that becomes more than even the sum of its parts. The Music of Words is, quite literally, a fantastic novel in its own right, even when it is, at a base level just a critical examination of Murakami's life via his work.
