Richard Morgan interview

[Robert Mahnke]

I won't try to explain the hype, but Pynchon and Murakami are two of the
authors whose work I like the most, and they sit comfortably beside each
other on my bookshelf, even though their work is rather different.  Were I
to be stranded on a desert island with only one author's books, I might even
pick Murakami, but that would be partly out of the frustration of trying to
untangle books like AtD and GR without the help of all of you and various
reference works.

However Murakami doesn't rank that comfortably beside Pynchon.

 

Thank you, I was waiting for somebody to say this!  I dont understand the
hype, especially that which Ive seen amongst other college-aged dudes and
dudettes Im friends w/.  Ive only read Wind-Up, and I enjoyed it alright,
but nothing about it screamed "global literary master" to me, not even in
the most generous definition of that term.
