In Today’s episode, we have Salih Yayar, the man behind the Haruki Murakami Art channel, book club, and podcast. Salih is a “Murakamian” - defined as someone who deeply resonates with the worlds created by renowned Japanese author, Haruki Murakami. In this episode, we explore these strange worlds. Worlds that are odd but profound - isolating but deeply imaginative. There is some magic spell casted upon every book that grips readers into the mysterious envelope of the human condition. Our conversation will hopefully share a few fragments that can offer a glimpse into those feelings and emotions. As a bonus, you'll find a short snippet from a highly rare interview given by Murakami in the early 90s.
