There's a long piece in today's Times. Murakami has both Eventyrian and 
Pynchonian characteristics.

"Murakami insists that, when he's not writing, he is an absolutely 
ordinary man --- his creativity, he says, is a "black box" to which he 
has no conscious access. He tends to shy away from the media and is 
always surprised when a reader wants to shake his hand on the street."
