    S03E09 – Immediate Reactions to Murakami’s New Novel

    Haruki Murakami's new novel is out in Japan! I've read the first two chapters and give my immediate impressions divided into three sections: spoiler free, loose suggestions about content, and spoiler-palooza.

    S03E08 – Predictions for Murakami's New Novel

    S03E08 – Predictions for Murakami's New Novel

    We're 24 hours away from the publication of Murakami's latest novel! In this episode, I go through a laundry list of vocabulary that ties together Murakami's fiction over the years, run through a set of predictions I made (both prior to and after the title announcement), and then dig deep into spoiler territory about how exactly the new novel might be connected to Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Check out the links I mention on the blog.

Fantastic Interviews and Insights

I love the content of these episodes. Japanese language study has always been a hobby of mine, although less frequently addressed hobby as work and family life have picked up over the years. This podcasts helps scratch that itch and learn some really great insight into those who are experts in their respective fields! Daniel does a great job of creating easy to listen to and fun to follow content! Keep up the great work!
