From Chile to South Korea: 7 novels for Haruki Murakami fans

moneycontrol.com

An article recommends seven novels for fans of Haruki Murakami, including works by Allende, Han Kang, and Clarke, that capture his sense of wonder and unease without imitating him. The list: Allende's The House of the Spirits, Han Kang's The Vegetarian, Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, Pessoa's Book of Disquiet, and Clarke's Piranesi. They explore memory, identity, and quiet unease. The article says these works don't imitate Murakami but evoke his emotional frequency—loneliness made beautiful—leaving questions unanswered. It also notes readers should know little about Piranesi before starting.
