Haruki Murakami is indeed a "global citizen." Millions have read his intriguing tales, which are page-turners in many languages. While some will read his works on screen, others will on paper.
No matter which medium, his words will continue to grip, entertain and move readers to look forward to the next harvest of his imagination. What a boon — to transform inventions of the mind to words and share them with the world!
