NIPPON CULTURE Japanese Studies Can Japan still be saved? In any case, Japanese author Haruki Murakami has made his contribution to raising his country’s gross national product with the first two volumes of his popular novel “1Q84”, selling more than two million copies shortly after their publication. But Murakami is also interested in Japan’s “gross national happiness”, warning us not to let the world become a bleak place. In order to keep away the strange “Little People” from power, the hero Tengo must climb the stage and stand the test of literature and love. But the end of the story is still to come in the awaited third volume. In her lecture for NIPPON CONNECTION, Prof. Dr. Lisette Gebhardt speculates on what we might expect.
