		That joy propelled him to produce four collections of short stories between 1982 and 1986 (a fifth was published last year, as a volume of travel pieces.) "I like storytelling.

	A Review of Haruki Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is Murakami's second novel to appear in English, following A Wild Sheep Chase (1989).
		His fourth novel, originally published in Japan in 1985, Hard-Boiled Wonderland won Murakami the Tanizaki Prize there and should succeed in establishing him as America's favourite Japanese writer.
		As the title perhaps suggests, Murakami's new novel tells in alternating chapters two stories that soon begin to speak to one another as the reader notices details of the one appearing transmogrified in the other - except that "transmogrified" isn't the right word because both stories are so bizarre.
