I agree with you that there's little resemblance between Murakami and PKD. I think I know what you mean regarding Hemingway. I got that "feeling" as a reader reading For Whom The Bell Tolls. I'd look at "the Surrendered" by Chang-rae Lee, a Korean American author and a Pulitzer finalist. I'm only halfway through the book but it's very much a Hemingway esque war book, and I think I get a similar feeling reading it. Maybe it has to do with being very deep inside the psyche of the existentially troubled, conflicted protagonist. If you do read it and enjoy it, drop me a note at me email. Would love to hear what you think.
