What I Talk about When I Talk about Running: A Memoir

An intimate look at writing, running, and the incredible way they intersect, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is an illuminating glimpse into the solitary passions of one of our greatest artists. While training for the New York City Marathon, Haruki Murakami decided to keep a journal of his progress. The result is a memoir about his intertwined obsessions with running and writing, full of vivid recollections and insights, including the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, here is a rich and revelatory work that elevates the human need for motion to an art form.Author: Haruki MurakamiPublisher: VintagePublished: 08/11/2009Pages: 192Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.43lbsSize: 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.56dISBN: 9780307389831About the AuthorHaruki Murakami was born in Kyoto in 1949 and now lives near Tokyo.
