Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle comes an intimate look at writing, running, and the incredible way they intersect.

Equal parts travelogue and literary reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers Haruki Murakami's intertwined obsession with running and writing and his preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon. From Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him, Murakami creates a vivid tapestry of memories and insights, including the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory.
