A famous writer on running
I know they start lining up early when Haruki Murakami has a
new novel hitting the stores. I’ve never read one. Younger friends have, and
find him meaningful to their lives. I envy them.
This book though, What I talk About When I Talk About
Running, I just read for the second time. It’s not a novel. It’s a
memoir. About his writing and his running. It’s not self-centered. It’s clear
and honest, and you learn things from it.
I’m gingerly starting to run again. Baby steps so far. This
book helps. I recommend it, even if you
aren’t running. Sports Illustrated called it ‘a brilliant
meditation’.
