Dances with Sheep

As a spokesman for disaffected youth of the post-1960s, Murakami Haruki has become one of the most important voices in contemporary Japanese literature. In Dances with Sheep, Matthew Strecher examines Murakami's fiction - and, to a lesser extent, his nonfiction - for its most prevalent structures and themes.

In calitate de purtator de cuvant al tinerilor nemultumiti de dupa anii 1960, Murakami Haruki a devenit una dintre cele mai importante voci din literatura japoneza contemporana si a castigat un succes in Statele Unite prin traduceri ale operelor sale. In Dansuri cu oi, Matthew Strecher examineaza fictiunea lui Murakami - si, intr-o masura mai mica, non-fictiunea - pentru structurile si temele sale cele mai raspandite.
