我的职业是小说家

This book is an unprecedented autobiographical work of Haruki Murakami. Despite his world-renowned popularity, a lot of things about Haruki Murakami are always wrapped in a mysterious veil: how did he make up his mind to take the road of a professional novelist? To him, what is the happy thing in life? How should we look upon Akutagawa Prize and the Nobel Prize for Literature... Over the past thirty-five years, Haruki Murakami is weaving a beautiful, touching story in solitude. With twelve chapters, he honestly, sincerely and humorously tells about his writing career, and pursuit of his dream and happiness in life.
