JAPAN’S GREATEST LIVING AUTHOR

Haruki Murakami has been described as ‘Japan’s version of JD Salinger’ – a rarely-interviewed author with an enormous worldwide following thanks to books including Norwegian Wood and 1Q84. He joins us in Edinburgh for the worldwide English-language launch of his new novel, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, which sold more than 1 million copies in the week after its release in Japan.

Please note: the book signing after this event will be restricted to a limited number of ticket holders.
