TOKYO: Haruki Murakami wrote a story of a walled city when he was fresh off his debut.
More than four decades later, as a seasoned and acclaimed novelist, he gave it a new life as 'The City and Its Uncertain Walls.'It was three years ago when he felt the time had come to revisit the story that he thought was imperfect but had important elements, such as the wall and the shadow, and tackle them again based on what he was feeling on his skin.'Because of the coronavirus... I hardly went out and stayed home most of the time, and I tended to look at my inner self.
'I think that sliding through a wall, a process that involves going to the other side of the world and coming back from there, is an extremely important step,' Murakami said.There are many kinds of walls — between conscious and unconscious, real and unreal, and the physical walls that separate societies, like what used to stand in Berlin and the barriers between Israel and the Palestinian territories, he said.
