From the supplier: Novelist Haruki Murakami writes novels where conflict between Japan and the West is practically absent. In his stories, Japanese embrace Western culture as fundamental elements of their contemporary lives without truly losing their basic Japaneseness. However, although Murakami strives to develop a new morality for the modern, economic order, his books do not discuss what that moral benchmark is and do not feature characters who can recognize such moral ideals.
