Japan's Haruki Murakami, Catalonia Prize 2011 Murakami donates prize money to victims of Catalunya Barcelona tsunami. (EFE). - The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, who tomorrow will receive the International Prize XXIII Catalunya, the authors considered that their country should work in future stories and novels to help "encourage" his countrymen, after a tragedy like the earthquake and tsunami of last March.
During a press conference today at the Generalitat, has recognized the novelist who is waiting for you until "the muse" to start a new literary project in that direction, but has made no secret that after his work has been 1Q84 void and may not be ready for another year.
Accompanied by the deputy president of the Catalonia International Prize jury, Xavier Rubert de Ventos, Murakami has argued that the Japanese are accustomed to suffer disasters, but because of the current nuclear crisis in a state of shock and not sure what happens next .
"We wonder, has indicators where we need to shoot. We are lost without direction. When World War II ended we took the right path to wealth and peace, and dream of a rich and peaceful country, but these dreams are gone. We were enthralled with our technical power, but now we're confused, but I think we will recover. "
As for his craft as a writer, which began when he was 29, not thinking before they could devote to it, has stressed that the desire to write "tell good stories."
He also noted that while it has its own political views and values, "I'm basically a writer, so that's why I'm still there."
He warned that the stories will come naturally. "I find no difficulty in writing," while it was more complicated, in my twenties, running a jazz club in Tokyo.
"When I write has said, see images and a set of instructions in my mind, I follow. I do not know see the sense and meaning of these visions and images. Just listen to these voices and follow them."
For this reason, stressed, which are each of your readers who have to interpret how they want their stories. And addressing journalists in the room he asserted: "You have absolute freedom, the book is dedicated to you and hope you enjoy him," referring to his latest work.
Asked about the fact that his stories always hard and even murder scenes without forgetting reported drops of blood, Haruki Murakami has stated that he is a person "kind, tender and soft, with no sign of bitterness."
But at the same time has recognized that when you write novels, do not know why, "scenes are brutal, hard, that bother me, but I do deeply believe that there is some force that pushes me."
In his appearance, the author of Tokyo Blues has opined that it is not very popular among the critics of his country, because it is "different" from other narrators Japanese, but "Readers have always been on my side, he has said, which makes me feel satisfied. "
Happy to be who he is, Murakami has self-identified as a "sponge" that absorbs everything, and that both are comfortable with Stephen King and Dostoevsky with series like The Sopranos and Lost, with groups like Radiohead, but also enjoys the great classical symphonies. "I am," he noted.
About what you think of Catalonia International Prize, said it has received other awards throughout his career as the Franz Kafka few years ago, but never sit at the computer thinking about it. "Now, if I receive prizes is something that makes me feel happy and is a reward for a grueling job," he acknowledged.
In this case, however, has found one but is that seeing the other winners of previous calls (from Claude Levi-Strauss to Jimmy Carter, last year), "I feel he has said, I'm getting older, because many of these recipients are elderly. "
The jury decided to award the prize to understand that their narrative "has transcended its cultural context" and has become a global benchmark, as well as the creation of a work and a personal universe and "constitute a literary bridge between East and West capable of combining the two worlds. "
