Join us on the evening of May 20, 2014 for a wild and wacky look at today's Japanese literature and the booming global popularity of Haruki Murakami. Includes readings from Haruki's first novella, “Hear the Wind Sing”, due to be published next year, and the fourth and latest issue of Monkey Business.
