In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing.

In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he’d completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing.
Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and takes us to places ranging 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. Through this marvelous lens of sport emerges a panorama of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.
By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory, both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in running.

From Publishers Weekly
Murakami's latest is a nonfiction work mostly concerned with his thoughts on the long-distance running he has engaged in for much of his adult life. Through a mix of adapted diary entries, old essays, reminiscences and life advice, Murakami crafts a charming little volume notable for its good-natured and intimate tone. While the subject matter is radically different from the fabulous and surreal fiction that Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle) most often produces, longtime readers will recognize the source of the isolated, journeying protagonists of the author's novels in the formative running experiences recounted. Murakami's insistence on focusing almost exclusively on running can grow somewhat tedious over the course of the book, but discrete, absorbing episodes, such as a will-breaking 62-mile ultramarathon and a solo re-creation of the historic first marathon in Greece serve as dynamic and well-rendered highlights. Murakami offers precious little insight into much of his life as a writer, but what he does provide should be of value to those trying to understand the author's long and fruitful career. An early section recounting Murakami's transition from nightclub owner to novelist offers a particularly vivid picture of an artist soaring into flight for the first time. (Aug.)

很喜欢这本书,正好解答了这段时间一些困惑,有的时候书也是一种缘分,就像在适当的时候遇到了对的人,希望有天我也能像他那么了解自己,知道自己的limits在哪,知道自己喜欢什么,不刻意为之,而是顺其自然,为自己定制一种lifestyle。

[excerpt] Even if, seen from the outside, or from some higher vantage point, this sort of life looks pointless or futile, or even extremely inefficient, it doesn’t bother me. Maybe it’s some pointless act like, as I’ve said before, pouring water into an old pan that has a hole in the bottom, but at least the effort you put into it remains. (展开)

上下班地铁上读完这本书。跑步是自己断断续续一直在做的事情,而朋友推荐读一读村上这本书,才知道村上原来是这样一个decent的跑者,很认真地做计划,夏天跑铁人三项,冬天跑马拉松,他写自己跑步训练时候的所思所想,絮絮叨叨但又感同身受。跑步的时候都会有自己的原则,村上也有:不要走路。即使是在最难受的时候,他也要坚持。这就是认真对待生活的意义。他写我跑步只是为了更好地做好小说家,而不能因为跑步的训练打破了... 上下班地铁上读完这本书。跑步是自己断断续续一直在做的事情,而朋友推荐读一读村上这本书,才知道村上原来是这样一个decent的跑者,很认真地做计划,夏天跑铁人三项,冬天跑马拉松,他写自己跑步训练时候的所思所想,絮絮叨叨但又感同身受。跑步的时候都会有自己的原则,村上也有:不要走路。即使是在最难受的时候,他也要坚持。这就是认真对待生活的意义。他写我跑步只是为了更好地做好小说家,而不能因为跑步的训练打破了小说家的工作,这也是认真的生活态度。 (展开)
