With elegant prose, Haruki Murakami conjures magical worlds overlaying ours. Murakami's style of magical realism uses simple language to express feelings of loneliness and nostalgia.

We take a closer look at samples from his works:

Norwegian Wood
Kafka on the Shore
After Dark
A Wild Sheep Chase
1Q84
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
