Novelist as a Vocation

Author Haruki Murakami talks about how he came to be a writer (he just decided to write a novel one day...out of the blue), who he writes for (himself), what he does to overcome writer's block (he doesn't get writer's block), what process he used to write his first novel (he wrote it in English and then translated it into his first language, Japanese), and much more in this little book of essays.
