Abstract

<p>In 2010 Haruki Murakami remade his short story into a novel, saying “I wanted to see whether another style of writing would be possible.” This is Nemuri. The new way of writing also challenges us to update our way of reading. Indeed, in spite of the author's aversion to plot-centered reading, most critics have focused on what his stories mean after the traditional method of interpretation. The aim of this paper is to identify a historical gap that lies between the short story “Nemuri” (1989) and the novel Nemuri, and then to find what kind of reading is possible after what Minoru Tanaka calls the poststructuralist crisis of the 80s in literary studies.</p>
