A ROYAL ENCOUNTER: CROWN PRINCESS METTE-MARIT MEETS HARUKI MURAKAMI

Fifteen years ago, when Japanese literary star Haruki Murakami visited Norway, Crown Princess Mette-Marit was among the audience at Litteraturhuset. For Murakami, it was almost shocking to suddenly see a member of the royal family standing in the packed hall.

Now, the author and the Crown Princess meet again at the Norwegian Festival of Literature to discuss Murakami’s nearly fifty-year career as a writer. Taking his latest novel, The City and Its Uncertain Walls, as a starting point, they will explore his distinctive style, writing process, and unique blend of the everyday and the fantastical, humor and melancholy.
