Guardian: "Haruki Murakami has spoken about his fears for his country amid a rise in Japanese nationalism, and revealed plans to deal with the issue in his next novel.
'I'm worried about my country,' the author told the South China Morning Post, an English-language newspaper based in Hong-Kong. 'I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.'
He singled out Shintaro Ishihara, the right-wing governor of Tokyo, for particular criticism, calling him 'a very dangerous man'.
'He's an agitator,' Murakami reportedly said. 'He hates China.'"

Haruki Murakami is one of my favourite writers. 'The Wind-up Bird Chronicle' is an amazing piece of literature.

This is one of his short stories: A Perfect Day for Kangaroos.
