About this listen

In 1982 Murakami began running to keep fit. Here he reflects on his running experiences. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon.

By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, this is a must-listen for fans of this masterful author and for the increasing number of people who find a similar satisfaction in running.

Critic Reviews

"Hugely enjoyable.... You don’t have to run a marathon to be captivated." ( Sunday Telegraph)

"This is my most recent inspirational find.... Murakami makes me want to write hard and run far and fast." ( Easy Living)

Most relevant

A new side of Murakami that makes him all the more wonderful. And the best narrator to tell the tale. shut up and take my money.
