What I Talk About When I Talk About Running: A Memoir

reader rating

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is a memoir by Haruki Murakami, born out of a journal he kept while training for the New York City Marathon, exploring how his twin obsessions with long-distance running and writing illuminate each other. Penguin Random House describes it as "an illuminating glimpse into the solitary passions of one of our greatest artists" — and for readers drawn to the inner life of a creative mind in motion, it delivers something genuinely rare.
