Is he a hack? What is your general consensus of him?

Good job OP, you've fulfilled the "is Murakami a hack" thread quota for the week.

He's a decent author.

Its just that /lit/ hates anyone who's famous and contemporary.

If you read Kafka on the Shore and still think he's a hack you are a feeble-minded pleb.

He writes the same book every time, but luckily it's a really good book.

>>9599262
maybe he's a hack, but i like him, so there

Having never read murakami, I started on "Kafka on the Shore" last night. The prose is nothing to write home about so far, but it's not bad.

The plot also seemed kinda interesting, and relatable to some extent.

Which book of his should I read after this one?
