ABC News, Haruki Murakami hard at work on ‘horror’ novel:
“Internationally acclaimed novelist Haruki Murakami is working on an extremely lengthy novel, but is cherishing every moment.
“Every day, I am sitting at my desk for five to six hours. I have been writing the novel for about one year and two months now,” he said in a rare interview as he describes his new work.”

Is the very long novel he is writing now also being written in the third person? He did not directly reply to that question, but gave one important hint about his new novel.
“It is about ‘horror.’ I have a hunch to produce a good novel. I think it will be an important work of mine.”
Now 59, Murakami said: “Like [Feodor Mikhailovich] Dostoevsky who wrote The Possessed and The Brothers Karamazov and became productive as he got older, I’d like to do the same thing.”"
