Though the creative reworking of Murakami's literary worlds threatens to distance us from the author and his work, this book argues that the very process of \"translating\" Murakami from one medium to another references the theme of transformation that is central to his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47426050687212,"sku":"9781952636530","price":33.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781952636530.jpg?v=1774768007"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/marc-yamada.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
