Murakami T

By Haruki Murakami & Philip Gabriel
Murakami T by Haruki Murakami & Philip Gabriel digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The international literary icon opens his eclectic closet: Here are photographs of Murakami’s extensive and personal T-shirt collection, accompanied by essays that reveal a side of the writer rarely seen by the public.

Many of Haruki Murakami's fans know about his massive vinyl record collection (10,000 albums!) and his obsession with running, but few have heard about a more intimate passion: his T-shirt collecting.

In Murakami T, the famously reclusive novelist shows us his T-shirts—from concert shirts to never-worn whiskey-themed Ts, and from beloved bookstore swag to the shirt that inspired the iconic short story "Tony Takitani." These photographs are paired with short, frank essays that include Murakami's musings on the joy of drinking Guinness in local pubs across Ireland, the pleasure of eating a burger upon arrival in the United States, and Hawaiian surf culture in the 1980s.
 
Together, these photographs and reflections reveal much about Murakami's multifaceted and wonderfully eccentric persona.

Thinking Face“I thought reading this book of collected essays by the author, about various T-shirts in his collection, would be a good way to get introduced to his writing style. Time will tell if that worked, but I can say that while I have zero interest in anyone's T-shirts I found myself somewhat interested in continuing this book to the end, especially the more I read... I guess that's a good sign”
Slightly Smiling Face“Quick read by a favourite author. Small collection of articles about the t-shirts he has purchased. Fun.”
