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.)

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.

杭州国际马拉松大赛 run on 2008.11.09 在起跑前发现好些选手的手臂上用胶带一层层的缠绕着MP3,偶有几个还缠了几块巧克力,颇为不解。我当初的想法单纯到不行:尽可能的减轻身体重量,听歌设备与食物是不必的,就连手表也是斟酌许久才下的决定。 比赛当天凉快也无风,算是...

之所以对这本书感兴趣,其实更大程度上是因为跑步本身,而并非村上。这一点,相信许多原本有过类似长跑经验的想必都有如此体会,说起来,跑步这一种运动难免过于私人,过于自我。 我是在初中在同学到鼓动下开始个人的跑步历程的,原本就是喜欢运动的人,有了同伴于是大多放学后...

在拿起这本小书之前,我没有想到村上春树竟然还是一位爱好跑步的超级发烧友,更没有想到那个不断写下忧伤颓靡、天马行空文字的小说家,在现实生活中竟是一个如此强调克制与纪律性的人,这大大颠覆了我对他的固有印象。 从33岁开始,村上春树就把跑步当作写作以外最重...

朋友一直为我买了一本村上春树而感到不解,因为我们似乎已经过了那个年纪。其实对于他的小说我都已经印象模糊,脑海里的《挪威的森林》只有些许片断,《寻羊历险记》只记得那个耳朵漂亮的姑娘和海豚旅馆,至于《世界尽头和冷酷仙境》则更是只觉得名字牛逼而根本没有读完。...

治愈系~~ 大爱里面很多名言,尤其是“in the long distance, the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.”

#path上看闲书# 英文版出奇地流畅,把跑马拉松和铁人三项作为业余活动真是有着惊人的毅力。印象最深的点大概是“写作是件很不健康的事情,于是必须要做件健康的事情来平衡”。跑步也是孤独的运动,却也是神奇地发现对自己的掌控力惊人的运动(后者还没有从实践中验证)。年岁渐长,重新觉得自律是件迷人的事。希望近几年内能跑次纽约全马。

从前我以为此书于我的意义,是村上说的"pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"。现在才体会到,其实村上对"rhythm"的描述,才是此书的力量。
