Haruki Murakami on Rethinking Early Work
Briefly

"I think I had the conviction then that it was a world I had to write about. The thing is, though, back then I lacked the writing skills I needed to do it justice."
"...feeling that, after forty more years of writing fiction, he finally had the dexterity and the time to return to this idea-of a high-walled town where clocks have no hands, people have banished their shadows..."
"The result is a narrative full of twists and shifts, with an ending that purposely leaves us with questions to consider, among them, Which is the real world and which the shadow realm?"
