The moment he saw Dave Hilton hit a double, an idea suddenly struck him: &quot;That&#039;s it, let&#039;s try writing a novel.&quot; After that, he began writing novels while running a caf\u00e9 with his wife.<br>The following year, he won the Qunxiang Newcomer Literature Award with his debut work, &quot;Hear the Wind Sing,&quot; making a name for himself in the literary world. Subsequently, he won prestigious awards such as the World Fantasy Literature Award and the World Literature Award.<br>In 1980, Murakami published a novella in the magazine &quot;Bungakukai&quot; (Literary World). This work was unusually not published separately and became a mysterious &quot;phantom work&quot; in the eyes of many readers. In 2020, Murakami decided to make up for the &quot;regret&quot; of forty years ago and spent nearly three years rewriting the work that had special significance to him, namely &quot;Small Town and the Wall of Uncertainty&quot;.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six years later, Haruki Murakami presents his new novel, *Small Town and the Wall of Uncertainty*.
