What I Talk About When I Talk About Running: running?

Kumari de Silva This is not a "how-to" book, there's no tips whatsoever. It's just a book on what Murakami talks about when he talks about running. It is both generally his thoughts on running and specific descriptions of races he has run
Tim The title alludes to Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". So yes, the book is about running, but its best passages are not (just) about running.
Amber Not necessarily. In classic Murakami fashion, it wanders all over the place.
He talks about a lot of different things in this book, and only one of them is running. I'd say there's at least as much talk about writing here as about running, as well as a grab bag of other things.
