In his book, Murakami Haruki, Dr. Michael Seats offers an important
philosophical intervention in the discussion of the relationship
between Murakami's fiction and contemporary Japanese culture.
Breaking through conventional analysis, Seats demonstrates how
Murakami's first and later trilogies utilize the structure of the
simulacrum, a second-order representation, to develop a complex
critique of contemporary Japanese culture. By outlining the
critical-fictional contours of the 'Murakami Phenomenon, ' the
