Here is yet another book about how one very talented person becomes a Novelist and maintains that status. If you haven't gathered, I have ambitions as a writer. Sure. I've written a few novels which I won't let anyone read? Why, because I don't have the confidence to do much with it. Why? Because I get distracted and want to do other creative stuff. But writing is fun, and I always want to do more of it while I'm more practiced at completing big projects in Music that very few people listen to. It wouldn't be much different to put out a long piece of fiction that even fewer people will Read.
Whatever. Writing is fun. Haruki Murakami had fun as a writer, and he did some really great work, with a very unique method of first writing his novels in English and then translating to Japanese (his native tongue), to keep his prose simple and clear. And he does have a wonderful narrative voice.
