Kernel of Truth
Haruki Murakami and Charles Bukowski may seem like opposites, but they share some surprising similarities. Both found their voices later in life, infused their work with classical music, and had a deep appreciation for alcohol. But while Bukowski drew inspiration from the characters he met in bars, Murakami found clarity on the road—pounding pavement instead of bottles. This book is a powerful reflection on the intertwined disciplines of writing and running.
Product Description
An intimate look at writing, running, and the incredible way they intersect, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is an illuminating glimpse into the solitary passions of one of our greatest artists.
While training for the New York City Marathon, Haruki Murakami decided to keep a journal of his progress. The result is a memoir about his intertwined obsessions with running and writing, full of vivid recollections and insights, including the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, here is a rich and revelatory work that elevates the human need for motion to an art form.
