About this book

<b>An intimate look at writing, running, and the incredible way they intersect, <i>What I Talk About When I Talk About Running</i> is an illuminating glimpse into the solitary passions of one of our greatest artists.</b><br><br>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.
