One oftentimes hears arguments along these lines about Murakami. That his writing is just pop commercial stuff. I am not sure I ever really grokked what these complaints were all about. Can you say more about what makes his writing like a "cheap knock-off"? At the very least what is the argument that it is a knock off at all (deferring considerations of its valuation)?
- obstinate 12y agoI can't speak for everyone who makes these arguments. My problem with his writing has nothing to do with its status as a knockoff. That said, if I had to guess, the answer to your question would be that faux profundity is always a knockoff of the truly profound.
