4.0 out of 5 stars A Novelist's View of Running, Jan 25 2009

By	Steve S. (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (Hardcover)

Murakami is a well know, quirky writer who has authored a number of novels and has a cult following. Although he is Japanese, and writes primarily in Japanese, his English is good enough that he also translates (professionally?) between the two languages.

Murakami is also a runner. While his times are only pretty good, e.g., a marathon in about 3:30, he has been at it for 25 or so years, and he has true runner's view of running, if that makes sense. I can say this because I have been running for about 35 years and, although my times are a bit faster than his, I can see that Murakami is clearly one of "us" -- those people to whom running comes naturally. Not that he is fast, just that it is natural for him to run.

This book offers Murakami's personal take on running, as well as writing. If you are a fan of his writing, then this book will be a must-read. Even if you do not care one whit about his novels, however, this book offers a good view into the mind of those of us for whom running is a calling of sorts, a natural part of our lives.
