Good question, but no answer. Good questions never have answers.
— Haruki Murakami
Haruki Murakami (b. 1/12,49) is a Japanese writer. His novels, essays, and short stories have been bestsellers in Japan and internationally, with his work translated into 50 languages and having sold millions of copies outside Japan. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Gunzo Prize for New Writers, the World Fantasy Award, the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award, the Franz Kafka Prize, and the Jerusalem Prize.
Growing up in Kobe before moving to Tokyo to attend Waseda University, he published his first novel Hear the Wind Sing (1979) after working as the owner of a small jazz bar for seven years. His notable works include the novels Norwegian Wood (1987), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994–95), Kafka on the Shore (2002), and 1Q84 (2009–10), with 1Q84 ranked as the best work of Japan’s Heisei era (1989–2019) by the national newspaper Asahi Shimbun’s survey of literary experts. His work spans genres including science fiction, fantasy, and crime fiction, and has become known for its use of magical realist elements. His official website lists Raymond Chandler, Kurt Vonnegut, and Richard Brautigan as key inspirations to his work, while Murakami himself has cited Kazuo Ishiguro, Cormac McCarthy, and Dag Solstad as his favorite currently active writers. – wikipedia

It’s certainly a thought-provoking statement. I don’t know whether it’s universally true. I guess it depends on how you define “good questions”.

That could be my mantra. All questions, no answers. Perhaps that’s why I like his writing so much. (K)

I also think even if there are answers to them they cannot be put into words.
