Sinopse

Words have power. Yet that power must be rooted in truth and justice. Words must never stand apart from those principles.

'You end this collection…vowing to never let life, or writing, get so complicated again' Guardian

Readers who have long wondered where the mysterious novelist gets his ideas and what inspires his beautifully surreal worlds will be fascinated by this highly personal look at the craft of writing.

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.

'Murakami is like a magician who explains what he's doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers' New York Times Book Review

'A fascinating glimpse of the peculiar writerly life' Sunday Times

** A TIMES, SUNDAY TIMES and NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR*

Autor

Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami é um dos escritores japoneses contemporâneos mais divulgados em todo o mundo sendo, simultaneamente, aplaudido pela crítica, que o considera um dos «grandes romancistas vivos» (The Guardian) e a «mais peculiar e sedutora voz da moderna ficção» (Los Angeles Times).
Nasceu em Quioto, em 1949. Estudou teatro grego antes de gerir um bar de jazz em Tóquio, entre 1974 e 1981. Além de Sputnik, Meu Amor, Kafka à Beira-Mar, Dance, Dance, Dance e A Wild Sheep Chase, que recebeu o Prémio Noma destinado a novos escritores, Murakami é ainda autor, entre outros, de Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (distinguido com o prestigiado Prémio Tanizaki) e, mais recentemente, de Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, a sua terceira coletânea de contos, distinguida com o Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award.
