Haruki Murakami's Latest Novel: A Masterful Reimagining of Past Works

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Vulture

Haruki Murakami's latest novel, "The City and Its Uncertain Walls," is critiqued as a lackluster addition to his oeuvre, resembling fan fiction more than a fresh narrative. The book revisits themes and settings from his earlier work, "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World," but fails to capture the depth and strangeness of his previous novels. The review highlights Murakami's tendency towards verbose and banal descriptions, which detract from the novel's impact, and suggests that his writing has become overly formulaic and self-referential.
