Novelist as a Vocation
Haruki Murakami
Thoughts and advice on the creative writing process from an international master of literature.
Words have power. Yet that power must be rooted in truth and justice. Words must never stand apart from those principles.

In this engaging book, the internationally best-selling author shares with readers what he thinks about being a novelist; his own origins as a writer; and his musings on the sparks of creativity that inspire other writers, artists, and musicians.
