Publisher's Summary
A charmingly idiosyncratic look at writing, creativity, and the author's own novels.
Haruki Murakami's myriad fans will be delighted by this unique look into the mind of a master storyteller. In this engaging book, the internationally best-selling author and famously reclusive writer shares with listeners what he thinks about being a novelist; his thoughts on the role of the novel in our society; his own origins as a writer; and his musings on the sparks of creativity that inspire other writers, artists, and musicians.
Those who have long wondered where the mysterious novelist gets his ideas and what inspires his strangely surreal worlds will be fascinated by this highly personal look at the craft of writing.

Not insightful or interesting
This is very disappointing in terms of insight to the author, and insight to his writing and imagination. He's worked hard, yes, but he's also had a charmed life. He shares many ignorant and pompous opinions on topics that have nothing to do with writing or vocations. Overall, this collection of essays is too strident and arrogant. The narrator was good, despite the content. Read his fiction rather than these personal essays.
