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 slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing.
Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings 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 marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia 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 revealing, both for fans of this masterful yet private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.

Konečně jedna z malá Murakamiho knih, která nás nechá (alespoň trochu) nahlédnout do jeho nitra a osobního života. Hurá!

Kniha se mi velmi líbila, taková příjemná "oddychovka" na odpoledne.

Moja prvá knižka od tohto autora. Veľmi sa mi páčila, siahla som po nej z toho dovodu, že sama rekreačne behávam. Páčilo sa mi, že popisuje život amatérskeho maratónca a občas odbehne k vykresleniu svojho osobného života z pohľadu svojich profesií. Kniha mi prišla ako opis autorovho hľadania správnej cesty v živote, alebo pilierov, na ktorých jeho život stojí. Angličtina bola dobre zrozumiteľná bez dlhých viet a odborných slov.
