Haruki Murakami and music
The New York Times has a nice article in which Haruki Murakami discusses his childhood and explains his musical inspiration for his writing
I never had any intention of becoming a novelist — at least not until I turned 29. This is absolutely true.
Practically everything I know about writing, then, I learned from music. It may sound paradoxical to say so, but if I had not been so obsessed with music, I might not have become a novelist. Even now, almost 30 years later, I continue to learn a great deal about writing from good music.
