AFTER THE QUAKE
Paperback
By Haruki Murakami (Author)
Publication Date: 1 January 2012
In After the Quake, renowned Japanese author Haruki Murakami explores the emotional and psychological aftermath of the 1995 Kobe earthquake through a series of six interwoven short stories. Murakami’s signature style of blending the surreal with the everyday is on full display, as characters grapple with personal loss, isolation, and existential questions in the wake of disaster.
The stories are set against the backdrop of the devastating earthquake and follow individuals who are affected in different ways—some physically, some emotionally. As the characters try to make sense of their changed lives, Murakami’s reflections on human resilience, vulnerability, and the complex layers of the human psyche shine through.
After the Quake is a profound and haunting exploration of how people cope with trauma and loss, and how they search for meaning in a world that is often unpredictable and chaotic. With Murakami’s unique ability to capture the intersection of the mundane and the extraordinary, this collection is both a meditation on disaster and a deeply human exploration of the inner world.
