The post-modern Japanese identity of Haruki Murakami's literature. by Ling, Shannon.

“…And for the modern Japanese writers like Haruki Murakami, this conflict presents a pertinent issue with his literature often derided by Japanese scholars and writers alike for the failure to represent the real Japan in his novels.In the first part of my thesis, I would seek to explore the influence that the writer himself has on his writing, discussing a little about his history such as the generation of Japanese that he was borne into.

A critical analysis of current debates in natural law: a theo-cultural engagement with John Finnis, Jean Porter, & John Milbank by Morgan, G
