Salman Rushdie
Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children and The Satanic Verses feature a blend of magical realism and historical narrative, much like Murakami’s ability to merge the surreal with the real. Rushdie’s themes of displacement, cultural identity, and the dreamlike quality of life will feel familiar to any Murakami reader.
