Read it:

Tokyo, 1968 to 2015. A student with no plan borrows money, opens a jazz bar in a western suburb, and spends seven years washing glasses, paying interest and closing at two in the morning. At twenty-nine he begins writing at the kitchen table after the last customer leaves, wins a first-novel prize, and then makes the decision the rest of his life runs on: he sells the business, gets up at four, and turns a body wrecked by bar work into the instrument the work depends on. Haruki Murakami's routine is usually told as a charming eccentricity. It was an operating decision, taken under specific financial pressure, and it produced a body of work and an argument about how long a writer can last. Covers Haruki Murakami.
