Previously a jazz club manager, he began his career at the age of twenty-nine when a baseball game inspired him to write. Haruki Murakami is perhaps the most famous modern day Japanese author on this list. This list is not conclusive, and these are suggestions of modern day authors and their particular works I have enjoyed. As an adult, my interest matured into wanting to explore the country’s literature, and I began to discover different Japanese authors whose works have been translated into English. Growing up, I was always drawn to the Japanese culture through my hobbies of watching anime and reading manga. The world literature class I took gave just a small taste of what was available by ‘classical’ authors from different countries. Have you ever been interested in another country’s literature? For me, world literature has been an intriguing subject ever since I studied European classics in college.
