The musical collection that inspires the writer H. Murakami is known

How many of us have enjoyed the literature of the Japanese author Haruki Murakami? Whatever the first book you read about him (and I say the first book, almost convinced that it was not the last if you already read something of his) you found great notes and annotations of songs in his lyrics, especially of jazz o blues. And is that this writer is a big fan of music, especially of these two genres.

Well, we can already say with complete certainty that we have the same or similar musical collection At our disposal Haruki Murakami listens and inspires him to many (if not all) of the books he has written thus far.

La playlist we can listen to it in the music application Spotify and has been created by a certain masamaro fujiki, great connoisseur of both the literature and the musical tastes of the Japanese writer. You just have to put your name in the search engine and discover a whole list of currently 3.158 songs. In total they are more than 220 hours of good musicIf you are a writer, you like classical music, jazz, blues and some pop and folk, maybe they can help you as much as Murakami in your literary creation. Who knows? They say that we must imitate the best to do increasingly good things ... What if we start with this?

I don't know, yet, if it will help me with my literary creation or not… I haven't had time to find out. What I do know is that I am listening to this list as I write these lines and it is quite good to concentrate and write. And it is that the author himself said it in his novel "The years of pilgrimage of the saying without color"«Our lives are like a complex musical score. Filled with all kinds of cryptic writing, sixteen and thirty second notes, and other strange signs. It is almost impossible to interpret them correctly, and even if they could, and then could be, transposed into the correct sounds, there is no guarantee that people will correctly understand or appreciate their meaning.
