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, extracts, and facts 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 and fans of unique design, this diary is the perfect quirky companion for 2009.

Review

"A true original, a fearless writer possessed of a wildly uninhibited imagination and a legion of fiercely devoted fans."  —Publishers Weekly


"America's favorite Japanese novelist."  —The Washington Post


“If he has not achieved that status already, Haruki Murakami is on course to becoming the most widely read Japanese writer outside Japan, past or present.”  —The New York Times


"A lovely way for any gal to keep track of her busy schedule."  —AM New York

Deceptive!1
I pre-ordered this thinking it was some sort of diary written by Murakami but when it arrived I found it was just a silly Murakami-themed diary. I am a big fan of Murakami, and it is a bit sad to see this type of misleading marketing associated to his work.

Beautiful5
This is a beautiful book. Yes, it is a diary. Included are short sections from his books, important Murakami dates are noted, nice images of Japan and cats and other Murakami stuff. This is a beautiful book in and of itself. I will buy additional copies as gifts.

I received this diary today and fell in love with it. It is beautifully designed using Murakami's words and many images inspired by his work. This is a must have for any Murakami fan and a beautiful piece of introduction for all who are not familiar with his work.
