写作满三十年前夕
村上春树透过谈跑步 道出自己不为人所知的写作观
25年前村上春树开始他的第一次跑步,那是1982年的秋天,三十三岁那一年,写完《寻羊冒险记》,村上先生因为戒菸而体重增加,为了减肥,开始了他的 第一步。从那以后村上接连不断地跑,他曾经跑完雅典的全程马拉松,也参加波士顿马拉松比赛,平日每天几乎都跑上十公里,可以说除了写作,跑步已经是他最在 行的事。
村上在这本书《关於跑步,我说的其实是……》中藉著记录整理自己的经验与思绪,分享他在跑步中所理解的人生以及写作观。至於 书名是什么意思?其实这本书的日文原名就是以外来语思维所写的(What I Talk About When I Talk About Running),这个名称明显是向他喜爱的美国小说家瑞蒙.卡佛名作之一《当我们讨论爱情》(What We Talk About When We Talk About Love)致敬。
村上说如果他可以选择自己的墓誌铭,猜猜看他想写上什么?答案就在书里。
Description
Equal parts training log, travelogue, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon. Settings range from Tokyo, 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 cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of having seen his race times improve and then fall back.
