TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Haruki Murakami will release a new novel, his first in around six years, on April 13, its publisher said Wednesday, without divulging the title or plot.
The novel by the 74-year-old Japanese author, long seen as a contender for the Nobel Prize in literature, will cost 2,970 yen ($22) per copy, Shinchosha Publishing said, adding that an e-book version will be released the same day.
