What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Haruki Murakami

Description

Taking Raymond Carver's title "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" and "running with it", Japan's greatest living novelist has turned his attention to one of his great loves - running.

In this new slim hardback book he looks at his hobby/obsession and considers what it means to him and how it impacts the way he thinks and works. This is a book that will be loved by Murakami fans, by fans of running and by readers new to both. An enthusiastic philosophical book from a literary great
