Dear Mr. Murakami. I send my big respect from Russia to you! I dreamed to say you, that you are amazing. My question is "how do you overcome critics or negative? "
Thanks a lot.

Dear Maria,

Thank you for your mail. I was encouraged by your warm message.

How do I endure the hard criticism? That’s easy. I do not read any reviews, basically. I can write books, and my books can find the readers, the readers (hopefully) can enjoy the books. I have been doing it for more than 35 years. Who needs review? Who needs critics?
