About a year ago, someone recommended a novel to me. It is about androids. The author had a Japanese name, though I believe he now lives in America. And I think it was written sometimes between 1990-2000. That's all I remember. Shoulda written it down!
Help!

The Stories of Ibis by Hiroshi Yamamoto (Translated by Takami Nieda)? < BUT it's from 2006, NOT 1990-2000.

That's not it. Thanks though. Any MORE info? Well, I remember looking up the author on my phone at the time. I know his first few novels were about life in Japan. Then he branched out into other stories, including the robot one. I'm not positive, but I remember his name starting with a K.

I'm afraid not. I believe he was a Japanese American when he began writing. Thanks though.

I'm not positive, but I remember his name starting with a K. Japanese science-fiction authors. It was my understanding at the time that the author I'm looking for isn't actually a sci fi writer. He just wrote one novel in the genre.

Okay,! So I'm now pretty sure the author is Haruki Murakami. Still can't find the novel though but it shouldn't be too hard to track down. I'll look for it a bit later...

Any way it could be Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (’85, English translation ’91)? It’s by Murakami and involves robots.
