Happy Birthday, Murakami

In honor of Haruki Murakami's birthday this week, here's a repost from 2010 about a Murakami-esque author. 

I swear I did not read the blurb on the back of this book when coming up with this comparison myself. So, Vendela Vida, I agree. Atmospheric Disturbances by Rivka Galchen is quite.

Never read Murakami? Start here. Or with this more recent essay about his love of t-shirts. 

Never heard of Galchen? Start here.

Never mind? Go here for other authors on The New Yorker's list of 20 under 40 to watch. And read.
