Click to play videoNew Delhi: It's official. Japanese author Haruki Murakami is the writer of his generation.
Making waves since the early 80s, Murakami's latest book Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman is a collection of 25 short stories guaranteed to make an impact.
The eponymous first story, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman nakes one nervous, shakes people up. It is beautifully written, but one takes some time to get a handle on "the point" - or maybe it is just the reader's misplaced emphasis on results in general that makes it difficult to get the point.
The story, The Mirror is scary in terms of what it makes one confront and a line from another story New York Mining Disaster - about wild self-destructive thoughts at crazy hours of the night - stays with the reader.
The author writes of avoiding the dark side and how people look for different ways to deal with that unearthly hours of the night.
Murakami's collection is tinged with grey that's guaranteed to keep one awake and ticking long past the crack of dawn.
