We beg to differ, Haruki: The Rumpus would love to hear your crooning Ray Charles rendition. Alas, author Haruki Murakami hasn’t serenaded us yet, but he has committed to responding to over 40,000 letters in his advice column (site in Japanese), including his musings on feline egos. For more Murakami, head on over to the Japan Times, where he discusses his advice column, Japan’s relationship to atomic bombs, and the importance of “living graciously.”
