I listened to this on audio during my shift at work. It was mildly interesting, and Murakami is an interesting guy! I haven’t read his regular fiction work, but I wanted to listen to this to get some idea of him. He’s kind of quirky (didn’t start writing until he was 29 and thought, while watching a baseball game, “I want to write a novel”) and somewhat a product of his time (middle aged man with somewhat weird/overly sexual views on women) but OVERALL was a cool look into his process, his views on writing/exercise/publishing/Japan, and even some good tidbits of advice. I am definitely looking forward to reading his other work “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running” more now. I recommend listening on audio, the narrator was great!
