Description:
An Akutagawa Prize-winning author and devoted reader since girlhood exhaustively interviews Haruki Murakami about everything. What is the relationship between the Commendatore and ideas? How does he come up with metaphors? What does it feel like when hundreds of thousands of people read his new work? Are there critics he wants to prove wrong? This landmark 11-hour, 250,000-character interview draws out his unexpected true self through incisive questioning about everything everyone wants to know but has never dared ask.
