The question was asked by Mieiko Kawakami, the most popular young female writer of the new generation in Japan, and Haruki Murakami answered. The interview lasted four times and was compiled into a book. The title of the book is based on the famous saying of the great philosopher Hegel, "The owl of Minerva takes off at dusk", and it is released immediately after "The Knight Commander". It tells the story behind the birth of "Knight Leader". At the same time, using the writer's unique and delicate questioning angle, it allows Murakami to reveal many little-known mysteries of his creation, his experiences as a boy, his views on feminism, his world reputation, daily life and even his thoughts after his death. At the time of the interview, Haruki Murakami was writing "Knight Leader", and several major mysteries were about to emerge. This is an interview record that provides the most in-depth analysis of Murakami's world, and is a feast dedicated to thousands of Murakami fans. Kawakami, winner of the Akutagawa Prize and a loyal fan since she was a girl, questioned Murakami about everything. What is the relationship between the knight leader and the idea? How did the metaphor come about? How does it feel to be read by hundreds of thousands of people? The questions that everyone wants to ask but cannot be asked are recorded verbatim and truthfully. A top-notch interview that lasted 11 hours and has a large capacity of 130,000 words.
