We invite you to meet your favorite author. Imagine Haruki Murakami performing for readers, and you ask him the most important questions: about the literary scene and literary awards, about creative power and originality, about developing your own style and character, about school and education in Japan, about the secrets of sensei and his writing philosophy, about how to become a writer and not drop out of the race—plus a sea of thoughts, advice, and examples drawn from Haruki Murakami’s personal experience. A book of interviews—a confession—by a writer in love with his profession.
