Murakami's style embodies a global novel that is deracinated, stripped of local context, and written in simplified language to facilitate translation.
His recent works, such as 1Q84 and Killing Commendatore, showcase a maximalist tendency, with their lengthy narratives offering radical experiments in narrative excess.
Unlike older writers who gravitate towards minimalism, Murakami's writing reflects a certain resistance to simplicity, partly due to the demands of Global Literature.
The release of The City and Its Uncertain Walls and its new translation of Hard-Boiled Wonderland highlights Murakami's exploration of late style, emphasizing quiet severity.
