What I Talk About When I Talk About Running pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.)

從前我以為此書於我的意義,是村上說的"pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"。現在纔體會到,其實村上對"rhythm"的描述,纔是此書的力量。

評分這居然是我讀的村上君的第一本書。接下來讀他的《且聽風吟》吧。英文版看著比中文版爽多瞭。 重新又讀一遍。每次跑步的時候,ipod裏麵放的是這本書來聽,真是應景。
評分“跑步是孤獨的。騎自行車比跑步更孤獨。”像漂浮的朽木一樣遊泳我也是會的。所以我不如去修煉鐵人三項吧。 = =

評分这是这段时间来对我影响最大的书,是一本当你厌倦了之前的颓废与不规律的生活时给你勇气改变的书。 在看到这本书之前,一直以为村上是一个颓废,糜烂的人,在黑暗的房间听《Hotel California 》的人,抽过多的烟,喝很多的酒,白天黑吧颠倒的人。哪知,他是...
評分不论是从作品本身的内容,还是从这位村上新译者的功力来看,这本书都是我近来读到最棒的村上春树了。 从作品本身来看,他确实是一个实诚的人。那些在跑步中产生的极其细微、明白存在又稍纵即逝的想法,都被他一一捕获,毫不含糊地写在了纸上。这里面有人生的哲理(虽然觉得他...
評分其实我看这本书还蛮惊讶的,我并非是个十足的村上迷,但他至少如一个真挚的朋友那样陪伴我度过了一些生命的重要阶段。在那些时候,我振作,是因为他的足够颓废,他那种身在泥沼完全不想挣扎的颓废让我震惊,仿佛看着身边的朋友冒着最后一个泡泡在泥沼里沉沦,我感受到自己内心...
