I know how fiction matters to me, because if I want to express myself, I have to make up a story. Some people call it imagination. To me, its not imagination. Its just a way of watching. – Haruki Murakami
Every writer has his writing technique – what he can and cant do to describe something like war or history. Im not good at writing about those things, but I try because I feel it is necessary to write that kind of thing. – Haruki Murakami
