In the US and UK Murakami Haruki's latest is both new and old -- Wind/Pinball, new/re-translations of his two earliest novels, now published together in one volume (with the two novels reviewed independently here at the complete review: Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973).
In Japan meanwhile they've just published the book version of three-month stint with an online advice-column, 村上さんのところ. What's really cool is that while the 250-odd page print version (see the Shinchosha publicity page) offers only a sampling -- 473 of the submitted questions -- there's also an e-book version (see the Shinchosha publicity page) that includes all 3716 of the questions Murakami dealt with (out of 37,465 submitted questions) -- the expanded/full version.
