Ryu Murakami, not relative to Haruki Murakami, is famous of his earlier novels "Almost Transparent Blue" and "Coin Locker Babies". Ryu Murakami's books sold millions of copies while he was still student. He hosted a TV talk show, and played drums in rock group. He is one of the new genious writers of Japan who dig deeper to the underground, where people don't want to see.. His books describe the world realistically, although often he is critisized being too extreme or populistic. Indeed, I must agree - his novels ain't exactly fun to read. But once you open the book - you can't stop until you reach the last page...
