Why hasn't he won the big one yet /lit/? He's more than deserving.

>>24842420>He's more than deserving[citation needed]
>>24842420wind up bird may in fact be the worst book ive ever read.i dont think ive ever been as angry at a piece of lit as i was at that one nope definitely not
>>24842420He deserves it but he's too popular now.
>>24842420>He's more than deserving.redditor spotted. go back
>>24843260Redditors hate Murakami because they think he doesn't know how to write women.
>>24842420Because he's a crappy pop lit writer. I'd group him in with Stephen King and Tom Clancy.
>>24843275>because they thinklol he literally doesn't. there are japanese cartoons with better written female characters.
>>24843292so you agree with the redditors? Opinion discarded.
>>24842420I'll give you a (big) one to win.
>>24843207Don't listen to this chud people it's pure kino.
>>24843207Funnily enough Wind-Up Bird is maybe his only good book. Since then he's just been retreading the same ground, but not as well. IQ84 is almost beat-for-beat just Wind-Up Bird but worse.
He will win when its time for an asian male to win again. Black female is up next.
>>24843825I really enjoyed Colorless Tsukuru, peak comfy.
>>24843825What'd you think about Kafka on the shore and the hard-boiled wonderland one? I've been meaning to check them out. If anything, it's relaxing and entertaining slop.
>>24843882Not who you asked but Kafka is peak Murakami weirdness. A good time, a bit too loose in terms of the narrative but worth the experience. I bounced off Hardboiled a long time ago, I need to give it another shot.
Because they ain't ready
>>24843808IATA but he (me) is correct.I have never been so abused by an author.50 allusions to the fact his wife is cheating on him. Laborious, time consuming, endless allusions.And I'm sitting there thinking to myself >"all right, this is not a Japanese cartoon, this man is a widely respected great master, surely my expectations will be subverted or at least this will all be to some purpose.But no. She's just cheating on him, all those allusions were simply page padding.>Okay okay, but she had a good reason ri..No, she (the incredibly dull meek asian woman caricature non-entity who shouldn't even be a character and who's only redeeming quality is maybe loyalty), randomly decides to be a gigawhore one day and runs away to take care of every unsucked cock in the kanto, and this is what the book is about.
>>24846006It's ok to be retarded anon
No he sucks big white cocks you moron. Fuck off back to goodreads
>>24847749You don't even know why you like it dipshit. No one with unironic bike-cuck psychology (as the book advocates) is a basket weaving forum user. Not even our trannys.You like it because you want to be seen as the sort of person who likes him.
>>24842420My Murakami > Your Murakami
>>24849253both Murakamis suck though. what a cursed surname
>>24848588Not the same anon, but he's just comfy. And it's ok to be comfy.
>>24842420>He's more than deserving>Russians holding the line against NATO>China advancing without ceding an inch to liberalism.>America embroiled in dysfunctional, postmodern Caesarism >only 30 years after history "ended"The only thing fukyomama is deserving of is a one-way plane ride back to nipstan.
