Do you love reading Haruki Murakami? Here are five other authors that you must read.
Franz Kafka
Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is perhaps the first-ever foray into magical realism. To get an insight into where Murakami gets his surreal style, this needs to be read.
Milan Kundera
Full of paradoxes and wisdom, there is an earnestness and honesty to Kundera's narration which is quite akin to Murakami’s.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Marquez's works entwine love, loss, and magic - much like Murakami.
Salman Rushdie
He challenges the status quo and the laws of reality. Unlike Murakami, his style of writing is not at all simple and will not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Elizabeth Kostova
Elizabeth Kostova blends fact and fantasy with expertise and deals with obscure signs and hidden texts.
