Boek What I talk about when I talk about running - Haruki Murakami (B-010-1-294)
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, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing.
Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles river in Boston.
This is a must-read for fans of this masterful yet private writer as well as for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.
De Japanse schrijver Haruki Murakami (1949) schreef o.a. de romans De kleurloze Tsukura Tazaki en zijn pelgrimsjaren, Kafka op het strand en zijn magnum opus, de trilogie 1q84. Zijn werk wordt in meer dan 40 landen uitgegeven en is bekroond met diverse internationale prijzen.
