What I talk about when I talk about running (BOOK)

SECOND HAND VERY GOOD

In 1982, after leaving the jazz club he ran and deciding that from now on he would dedicate himself exclusively to writing, Haruki Murakami also started running. The following year he would run alone the route that separates Athens from the Marathon, his baptism in this classic race. Now, with numerous books published with great success around the world, and after participating in many long-distance races in different cities and places, Murakami reflects on the influence that this sport has had on his life and work. As he talks about his hard daily workouts and his desire to excel, his passion for music or the places he travels, the idea gradually emerges that, for Murakami, writing and running have become a vital attitude. Reflective and funny, philosophical and full of anecdotes, this volume takes us fully into the universe of an author who has dazzled the most demanding critics and bewitched thousands of readers.
