Murakami fans disappointed as author misses out on Nobel Prize

Fans of Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami, alongside a man in a sheep suit (L), react in the northern Japan town of Bifuka on Oct. 13, 2016, as the 67-year-old author missed out on winning the Nobel Prize in literature. The town on Japan's northernmost main island Hokkaido is believed to provide the setting for one of Murakami's novels titled "A Wild Sheep Chase" (Hitsuji wo meguru boken). (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
