具體描述

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.

##村上的小說越來越不能看瞭,而雜文至少還和以前一樣

##之所以對這本書感興趣,其實更大程度上是因為跑步本身,而並非村上。這一點,相信許多原本有過類似長跑經驗的想必都有如此體會,說起來,跑步這一種運動難免過於私人,過於自我。 我是在初中在同學到鼓動下開始個人的跑步曆程的,原本就是喜歡運動的人,有瞭同伴於是大多放學後...

##在拿起這本小書之前,我沒有想到村上春樹竟然還是一位愛好跑步的超級發燒友,更沒有想到那個不斷寫下憂傷頹靡、天馬行空文字的小說傢,在現實生活中竟是一個如此強調剋製與紀律性的人,這大大顛覆瞭我對他的固有印象。 從33歲開始,村上春樹就把跑步當作寫作以外最重...

##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。
