What I Talk About When I Talk About Running pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载
From Publishers Weekly
Murakami's latest is a nonfiction work mostly concerned with his thoughts on the long-distance running he has engaged in for much of his adult life. Through a mix of adapted diary entries, old essays, reminiscences and life advice, Murakami crafts a charming little volume notable for its good-natured and intimate tone. While the subject matter is radically different from the fabulous and surreal fiction that Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle) most often produces, longtime readers will recognize the source of the isolated, journeying protagonists of the author's novels in the formative running experiences recounted. Murakami's insistence on focusing almost exclusively on running can grow somewhat tedious over the course of the book, but discrete, absorbing episodes, such as a will-breaking 62-mile ultramarathon and a solo re-creation of the historic first marathon in Greece serve as dynamic and well-rendered highlights. Murakami offers precious little insight into much of his life as a writer, but what he does provide should be of value to those trying to understand the author's long and fruitful career. An early section recounting Murakami's transition from nightclub owner to novelist offers a particularly vivid picture of an artist soaring into flight for the first time. (Aug.)

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, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and—even more important—on his writing.
Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and takes us to places ranging from Tokyo’s Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvelous lens of sport emerges a panorama of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back.
By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is rich and revelatory, both for fans of this masterful yet guardedly private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in running.
##最近在读村上春树的《当我谈跑步时,我谈些什么》,因为涉猎的书太多,始终没有集中注意力去仔细阅读。直到这几天,在读的时候,把自己的脑子倒空,却有了一种收获的喜悦。 其实,我们每天平凡生活,最熟悉的莫过于自己。你了解自己的习性,习惯,思维方式,包括自己的身体。...
评分 评分4小时23分的audio book,两天给听完鸟。给5星是因为这是唯一一本我知道村上在写些什么的书。
评分##其实我看这本书还蛮惊讶的,我并非是个十足的村上迷,但他至少如一个真挚的朋友那样陪伴我度过了一些生命的重要阶段。在那些时候,我振作,是因为他的足够颓废,他那种身在泥沼完全不想挣扎的颓废让我震惊,仿佛看着身边的朋友冒着最后一个泡泡在泥沼里沉沦,我感受到自己内心...
评分##Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional GR 3.71 (25000) Aud
评分 评分##这是这段时间来对我影响最大的书,是一本当你厌倦了之前的颓废与不规律的生活时给你勇气改变的书。 在看到这本书之前,一直以为村上是一个颓废,糜烂的人,在黑暗的房间听《Hotel California 》的人,抽过多的烟,喝很多的酒,白天黑吧颠倒的人。哪知,他是...
评分 评分##之所以对这本书感兴趣,其实更大程度上是因为跑步本身,而并非村上。这一点,相信许多原本有过类似长跑经验的想必都有如此体会,说起来,跑步这一种运动难免过于私人,过于自我。 我是在初中在同学到鼓动下开始个人的跑步历程的,原本就是喜欢运动的人,有了同伴于是大多放学后...
