Before meeting Haruki Murakami in London this September, I already knew

that he was a big deal in Japan, where his fans bought a million copies of Colorless

Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, his 13th novel, in its first two weeks

last year.

In my opinion, Murakami looks about ten years younger than he is, and this is the result of running and swimming that he’s kept up. He says, “For more than 30 years, I'm running almost the same distances as when I was younger, But the times are getting worse.”

Shortly before we met, Murakami told his readers at a book festival that his “lifetime dream” was to be sitting at the bottom of a well. “Yes,” he says, nodding. “ I always feel that I go to the dark places when I write. Only in the darkness can I see the story. I don’t think I have a special gift. I don’t think that way.”

“My main interest to write novels and stories,” he says, “is to find what I am. I’m 65 years old, but I’m still curious what I am. You know, I’m a writer. I’m kind of famous. I’ve been writing for 35 years. I’m kind of successful and I have readers worldwide but I don’t understand why that happened. It seems to me like a miracle. I don’t think I’m a great person, a smart person, a talented person, but I could write. I just want to find out why that happened to me.”

When Murakami wrote his novel Kafka on the Shore, he ran a website on which fans could share their ideas and ask questions. “Each reader,” he says, “sent me their opinions. Many of them were just not the right opinions. But when I read a thousand of them, I felt ‘They understand me! ’I trust the readers...”
