Paperback. Zustand: Good. How did a loner destined for a niche domestic audience become one of the most famous writers alive?

Thirty years ago, when Haruki Murakami's works were first being translated, they were part of a series of pocket-size English-learning guides released only in Japan. Today his books can be read in fifty languages and have won prizes and sold millions of copies globally.

What does it mean to translate and edit "for a market"? How does Japanese culture get packaged and exported for the West.…
