Japanese author Haruki Murakami to release new novel 'The Tale of KAHO'
A new book by Haruki Murakami set to be released in early July will mark the first time a full-length novel by the Japanese author features a female main character. “The Tale of KAHO” is Murakami's first book in three years.
The story centers on a 26-year-old picture book author named Kaho.
Shinchosha Publishing Co. said Thursday she is the first lone female protagonist featured by the writer.
The book will be released July 3 in print and digital formats.
Shinchosha Publishing says the 352-page book brings together Murakami's four-parts series released in a monthly magazine and gives them a new life.
