In a revealing memoir, the award-winning Japanese writer recalls his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City marathon, interweaving his reflections on the meaning of running in his life, his thoughts on the writing process and career, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, and his experiences as an author and as an athlete. 40,000 first printing. AnnotationFollowing in the footsteps of other writers who have taken a break from their critically acclaimed novels to write about their personal involvement with a sport (John Updike on golf or Joyce Carol Oates on boxing), Haruki Murakami (THE WIND-UP BIRD CHRONICLE) describes his passionate dedication to running: he runs a minimum of six miles a day, and in addition to running 20 marathons, he has run a 62-mile ultramarathon. In WHAT I TALK ABOUT WHEN I TALK ABOUT RUNNING, Murakami, in his mellow, ruminative prose, describes the physical aspects of running, the philosophical, and how running, perhaps more than any other sport, mirrors the solitary, grueling work of writing.
