村上也会回答有关他个人爱好的问题，包括他最喜爱的动物猫，支持的日本职业棒球队益力多燕子（Yakult Swallows）。

Problems and queries will be accepted until the end of January, and Murakami’s answers will be published over the following two months.

问题收集截止到一月末，村上的回复会在二月和三月发布。

The scheme echoes a similar project in 2006, and offers a rare chance for Murakami’s legions of fans to communicate directly with a writer who spends much of his time hiding from the glare of the media.

这个活动和2006年的一个类似活动遥相呼应，也给村上的大批粉丝们一个可以直接和他交流的机会。村上花了很多时间，只为躲避媒体的纷纷扰扰。

“After so long, I want to exchange emails with readers,” Murakami was quoted by the publisher as saying.

出版商引用了村上自己的话：“这么久了，我想和读者们通过邮件交流。”

Murakami is one of Japan’s best known writers and has repeatedly been tipped as a future Nobel Literature laureate.

村上是日本最著名的作家之一，很多次都被预测会成为诺贝尔文学奖获得者。

The 65-year-old, who reportedly spends much of his time in the United States, has a cult following for his intricately-crafted tales of the absurdity and loneliness of modern life, and peppers his work with references to pop culture.
