Who are your Authors (Film Makers, Artists, etc.)

[€uroMeinke]

Well, I just finished another Murakami novel, The Wild Sheep Chase and thoroughly enjoyed it. Again I’m amazed it took me so long to stumble across this author. Honestly, if it wasn’t for our recent trip to Tokyo, I would have remained clueless to this day.

That said, in some ways I have come to believe that Murakami’s sole purpose in life is to write fiction simply to delight and entertain me. He’s quirky, loves to play with reality in a world where fantastic things happen to ordinary, mediocre people. I love this stuff in all its contemporary fairytale splendor. Who else could he be writing for except me? (we’ll Not Afraid and the girl in the chocolate store too.)

Who are your authors; the one’s who capture your specific interests in a way that they must be spying on your dreams? Perhaps they are not the best writers, but they seem to be writing for you.
