In this collection of interviews mainly focused on KILLING COMRADE, Kawakami invites the readers to peer into Murakami's writing process and philosophies. There's nothing more joyful than reading two of my fav authors talk about writing. There are so many interesting conversations, from how Murakami comes up with ideas, his belief that novels should be "kind", his refusal to explain his stories, to his seemingly apolitical stories, I relished every moment of these interviews.
