Sinopsis	NOVELIST AS A VOCATION A charmingly idiosyncratic look at writing, creativity, and the author's own novels. Haruki Murakami's myriad fans will be delighted by this unique look into the mind of a master storyteller. In this engaging book, the internationally best-selling author and famously reclusive writer shares with readers what he thinks about being a novelist; his thoughts on the role of the novel in our society; his own origins as a writer; and his musings on the sparks of creativity that inspire other writers, artists, and musicians. Readers who have long wondered where the mysterious novelist gets his ideas and what inspires his strangely surreal worlds will be fascinated by this highly personal look at the craft of writing. ARUKI MURAKAMI Legend has it that on a warm day in Spring 1974 while watching a baseball game Murakami-san had the inspiration to write his first novel, later called Hear the Wind sing. It won him his first Literary award and is part of The Trilogy of the Rat together with Pinball 1973 and A Wild Sheep Chase . His career as an writer took off fast and a steady flow of Novels, Short Stories, Articles and Documentaries followed. The fact that he spent a good part of his life outside Japan, mainly in the US and southern Europe, is maybe the key factor of his growing worldwide success. The stories and settings are familiar to Westerners and yet there is a distinctive Japanese touch. Edad: Adultos MURAKAMI HARUKI Kioto, 1949. El más popular y prestigioso autor japonés vivo, ganador de numerosos premios literarios dentro y fuera de su país. Nieto de un monje budista e hijo de profesores de literatura japonesa, estudió en la Universidad de Waseda, pero se formó, sobre todo, escuchando jazz, viendo películas de Hollywood y leyendo a autores como Richard Brautigan, Jack Kerouac o Kurt Vonnegut. Ese fervor por la cultura norteamericana lo llevó a dirigir durante años un club de jazz y, después, a traducir a autores como Raymond Carver, John Irving, J. D. Salinger, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote o Paul Theroux. A los veintinueve años, escribió su primera novela, Kaze no uta o kike Escucha la canción del viento . Después, vendrían libros notables, mezcla de realismo y de fábula, como Crónica del pájaro que da cuerda al mundo, Tokio Blues Norwegian Wood , Kafka en la orilla y 1Q84.
