A review by wintrovia
Novelist as a Vocation by Haruki Murakami

4.0

An interesting insight into the process and life of an important and influential novelist. I found the topics meandered away from the central idea of the book at times, sometimes into interesting and unusual places and other times it was a little dull. On the whole I found it interesting to learn about how Mukakami has made writing novels his career, I particularly liked how he talked about sustaining yourself as a writer over a period of years as many writing books focus only on getting your first book published and not on how to build a long-term and lasting career.
