Description
Haruki Murakami's globally celebrated work contains a profound yet understudied element: his sophisticated satirical art. This study addresses this gap by proposing a systematic analysis of Murakami's satire, arguing it is a central, evolving feature of his literary project. Moving beyond common thematic focuses like alienation, the research will trace satire's development from early gentle irony to later sharp historical and social critique. It will employ a three-part framework examining the subjects of his satire (history, society, the human condition), the narrative strategies used (metaphor, absurdism, restrained prose), and its deeper ideological core (historical justice, humanistic care). By integrating close reading with cultural and interdisciplinary analysis, this book aims to reveal how Murakami's implicit satire provides a vital critical mirror for contemporary issues, enriching scholarly understanding of his work and its global significance.
