Biography


As in Russian literature there are two Tolstoy - Leo and Alexei, and in Japanese - two Murakami. Haruki and Ryu have no family or other ties - the former writes novels that are incredibly popular outside of Japan. The second creates works much more radically, touching upon the themes of psychology, violence and murder, which are loved and understood mainly by compatriots. It is no coincidence that Ryu Murakami has earned a reputation as a "bad boy" in Japanese literature.

fact

Childhood and youth


The full name of the writer is Ryunosuke Murakami, born on February 19, 1952 in the city of Sasebo, located in Nagasaki Prefecture. The childhood of the future author was not easy: from childhood Ryu had a rebellious character, although he was born into the family of a teacher and an artist.

As a high school student, the young man once barricaded himself on the roof of a school to protest the Vietnam War. Murakami was sympathetic to hippies, then at the age of 15 he created a rock group and organized a youth rock festival. In other words, Ryu himself became the prototype for some of his desperate characters.

Until he came of age, Murakami lived in the port city, where the American naval base was located. This fact was reflected in Ryu's work: some of the works are permeated with thoughts about the problems of coexistence of the cultures of the West and the East. Usually, Murakami's attempts at mutual adaptation both at the level of individuals and at the level of society lead to dire consequences.

In 1970, Ryu Murakami moved to the Tokyo suburb of Fussa, where he graduated from the Art University of Musashino. In those years, Ryu became a frequent participant in the actions of the National Federation of Student Government, which were directed against the presence of US military forces in Japan. In the early 70s, the author's literary style began to form.

Literature


Biography of the writer began in 1976, when Ryu debuted with the novel All Shades of Blue. A peculiar novel with a non-standard plot about marginalized teenagers caused a sensation. The book sold over 1 million copies, one part of the critics instantly called Murakami the founder of a new direction in Japanese literature. The young author became a laureate of the Akutagawa Literary Prize.

At the same time, another part of the critics accused the young author of decadence, to which Ryu said that he did not care about the opinion of readers who did not have experience in drug addiction and group sex. So Murakami once again confirmed his tempestuous youth, and also explained why the plots of the books are so realistic and detailed.

In 1980, the work "Children from the storage room" was published. The novel tells about two stepbrothers, abandoned by their mothers in the hospital. In adolescence, they are confronted with a psychotropic poison - "datura". This drug gives pleasure, similar to the narcotic, and ignites the desire to kill inside.

After that, the author creates a number of works that are distinguished by an innovative approach to the presentation of the plot. Ryu uses slang profusely, boldly writes about the peculiarities of the intimate life of the population of his native country. All of the writer's work is characterized by a critical reflection of reality, for example, the story of the serial killer from the thriller "Miso-Soup", released in 1997, simultaneously revealed the current problems of Japanese society. For this novel, Murakami received the Yomiuri Literary Prize in the Fantasy category.

In addition to writing, Ryu is fond of directing, filming his books. In 1979, the first film based on his debut novel, All Shades of Blue, was released. In subsequent years, he released several more films, the most famous of which was "Tokyo Decadence" based on the novel "Topaz". The film, which tells about the difficult fate of the young prostitute Ay, in a number of countries is ranked as pornographic for explicit sexual and sadomasochistic scenes.

In 2003, the book "Ecstasy" was published - the first volume of the trilogy "Monologues on Pleasure, Apathy and Death". Readers saw in her the psychological ins and outs of BDSM: Murakami clearly explains why this or that character is not against beating or violence. The plot of the trilogy is interconnected: one hero common to all books in each volume meets a character, each of which breaks his life. The second and third books are titled Melancholy and Thanatos.

In 2005, the author received the Noma Prize for the novel Forward from the Peninsula. In fact, this nomination made Ryu one of the classic authors of modern Japanese literature.

Personal life


In the interviews given by Murakami, we are talking mainly about works. Ryu deliberately does not spread information about the family.

Therefore, little is known about the personal life of the Japanese writer: in September 1976 he married the keyboard player Tazuko Takahashi and still lives in marriage. In 1980, the couple had a son. In addition to his literary activities, Ryu is a political columnist and is fond of football.

Ryu Murakami now


The popularity of Ryu Murakami's works has stepped far beyond the Land of the Rising Sun. Quotes from the author's novels appear on the pages of social networks of users around the world. Currently, Murakami continues to direct, making films only based on his own works.

On April 19, 2018, Ryu's film "Piercing", based on the work of the same name, appeared on Russian screens. The main character, played by Christopher Abbott, at first glance seems like an exemplary family man. In fact, the man is oppressed by the memory that he stabbed his stripper mother. Voices in my head are trying to nudge her to kill her daughter.

In an attempt to relieve stress, the hero leaves the city and decides to hire a prostitute to relax, and then deal with her. But the charm of a girl of easy virtue turns the situation upside down, turning the plot into an exciting psychological game.
