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
###path上看閑書# 英文版齣奇地流暢，把跑馬拉鬆和鐵人三項作為業餘活動真是有著驚人的毅力。印象最深的點大概是“寫作是件很不健康的事情，於是必須要做件健康的事情來平衡”。跑步也是孤獨的運動，卻也是神奇地發現對自己的掌控力驚人的運動（後者還沒有從實踐中驗證）。年歲漸長，重新覺得自律是件迷人的事。希望近幾年內能跑次紐約全馬。｜七年後被人點贊短評“有用”來更新下，這幾年來一直在跑步，前幾年也如願跑瞭紐約全馬，巨開心。
評分##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##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##At least he never walked.
評分##每隔一段時間讀一遍給自己打雞血，誰說心靈雞湯沒用我跟誰急
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##村上的小說越來越不能看瞭，而雜文至少還和以前一樣
評分##治愈係~~ 大愛裏麵很多名言，尤其是“in the long distance, the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be.”
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..
