«Waarover ik praat als ik over hardlopen praat» is Haruki Murakami's autobiographical essay in hardback (204 pages, in Dutch).
Haruki Murakami reflects on his relationship with running and writing: from selling his jazz club to devote himself to writing and taking up running, to his preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon. Between Tokyo and Boston, he weaves training with memories, triumphs, failures, and his passion for old records.
Dutch translation by Luk Van Haute; the original work was published in 2007 under the title «Hashiru koto ni tsuite kataru toki ni boku no kataru koto».
It is aimed at Murakami readers interested in his autobiographical side and in the relationship between physical effort and literary creation.
