具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##一本小書，如小口品嘗飯後甜點般讀完。這幾年讀過的第三本關於跑步的書；第一本村上先生的書。譯者行文流水，讀來完全沒有違和感。印象最深的還是那句：Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
評分##跑步的時候反復聽， 不想跑的時候反復聽，沒力氣的時候反復聽，這本書最近簡直變成我的精神支柱。
評分##看完英文版，覺得中文版翻譯得實在太好瞭.....兩種韻味哈..
評分##終於讀完瞭！！！嚴格意義上是我cover的第一本原版..呼..
評分##……讀完瞭對此人有瞭新的認識；……囉囉嗦嗦，原來不是天纔，但是有時候也太過於謙虛，最重要還是囉囉嗦嗦的一本書，但是還不難看
評分##很喜歡這本書，正好解答瞭這段時間一些睏惑，有的時候書也是一種緣分，就像在適當的時候遇到瞭對的人，希望有天我也能像他那麼瞭解自己，知道自己的limits在哪，知道自己喜歡什麼，不刻意為之，而是順其自然，為自己定製一種lifestyle。
