The specter of a war in Iraq brings with it the very real possibility that JI and its like-minded terrorist brethren will ratchet up such operations. This makes the conclusion that the Bali blasts were probably triggered by Southeast Asia's first known suicide bombers "highly alarming" given the challenges presented by terrorists willing to die, says one regional intelligence source.

That can be a curse in Japan, where the literati distinguish condescendingly between "pure" literature and fiction for the masses. Highbrow novelists compete for the tony Akutagawa Prize.

"Murakami's work is in-between," explains Mitsuyoshi Numano, a literature professor at the University of Tokyo. "If a writer pursues high-quality literature, the book doesn't sell...
