Haruki Murakami citations
Page 5

Haruki Murakami est un écrivain japonais contemporain. Auteur de romans à succès, mais aussi de nouvelles et d'essais, Murakami a reçu une douzaine de prix et autres distinctions. Traduit en cinquante langues et édité à des millions d'exemplaires, il est un des auteurs japonais contemporains les plus lus au monde.

Murakami est également reconnu au Japon comme traducteur de l'anglais en japonais , et comme journaliste-essayiste .

Revendiquant des influences allant de Raymond Chandler à Kurt Vonnegut en passant par Richard Brautigan et Franz Kafka, Murakami est rapproché de la littérature postmoderniste. Ses récits sont appréciés pour leur forme de réalisme magique qui voit la quête picaresque se teinter de romantisme ou de surréalisme, et l'enquête policière flirter avec le fantastique ou la science-fiction ; y affleurent la poésie et l'humour, malgré la dimension mélancolique de leurs narrateurs qui évoquent obliquement des thèmes existentiels tels que la solitude, l'incommunicabilité et l'aliénation au sein de la postmodernité des sociétés capitalistes.

Haruki Murakami: Citations en anglais

“Body cells replace themselves every month. Even at this very moment”

Haruki Murakami livre A Wild Sheep Chase

Source: A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel (1982), Chapter 25, Transit Completed at Movie Theater, On to The Dolphin Hotel
Contexte: "Body cells replace themselves every month. Even at this very moment," she said, thrusting a skinny back of her hand before my eyes, "most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.”

“I'm not so weird to me.”

Haruki Murakami livre The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

“If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.”

Haruki Murakami livre Kafka sur le rivage

Source: Kafka on the Shore (2002), Chapter 30, Colonel Sanders
Contexte: Listen- God only exists in people's minds. Especially in Japan, God's always been kind of a flexible concept. Look at what happened after the war. Douglas MacArthur ordered the divine emperor to quit being God, and he did, making a speech saying he was just an ordinary person. So after 1946 he wasn't God anymore. That's what Japanese gods are like-they can be tweaked and adjusted. Some American chomping on a cheap pipe gives the order and presto change-o - God's no longer God. A very postmodern kind of thing. If you think God's there, He is. If you don't, He isn't. And if that's what God's like, I wouldn't worry about it.
