I've now read several of Murakami's books (in English translation, since, alas! I do not read Japanese)and find he has an amazing imagination, and an extraordinary skill in probing how people behave in modern society. While his settings are nearly always Japan (or a fantasised variation of Japanese society), you certainly do not need any great knowledge of, or particular interest in, Japan to enjoy them -- his books speak directly to our experience as human beings. If you do not already know his work, _After Dark_, a relatively short collection of stories, is a good place to begin.

Consumate Murakami. Captures the 'darkness' of the nighttime. Evocative.
