You can interpret The Wind-up Bird Chronicle any way you want but I don't think Murakami had the Israeli way of life in mind. But then, I'm not too sure what you're saying exactly. If you could expand a little, and explain yourself, I'd like that.
I'll say this though, that Murakami really gets to the heart of certain feelings... of detatchment, ennui, helplessness, acquiesence, boredom, and countless other lackings. It's as if religion, or any meaning in life, things dissappearing in many parts of the world, are replaced by surrealism, blind faith in circumstance, and it's as if all the empty spaces in people are put to the test.
He's a writer with lots of appeal. Using strange methods, he's tapped in to modern times.
