Description
“One afternoon in April 1978, Haruki Murakami was sitting in the stands of Jingu Stadium in Tokyo, watching a baseball game, when he experienced a life-changing moment. It happened when a player from his local team hit the ball into the left field, and the crowd erupted in cheers. Murakami says, ‘At that moment, without any warning whatsoever, this thought suddenly came to me: I think I could write a novel!’… This book is a guide to novel writing from a very personal perspective, infused with a touch of opinion and autobiography. It contains a number of strange and revealing scenes, where the experiences he went through seem more like excerpts from his novels than reality. Moreover, he recounts them as if they were spontaneous occurrences, reminiscent of his seemingly simple, everyday style, which frequently moves between the mundane and the mysterious, without alteration.” Noticeable in his tone.
