Moving from running to writing is a small step that Haruki Murakami calls vitality. To become a disciplined writer, Murakami made radical choices: he sold his jazz club, quit smoking, and started running daily. This book, a blend of journal, essay, and praise for running, is a luminous meditation on life, peppered with previously unpublished secrets.
"A treatise on Japanese wisdom, this text also reveals the hidden source of Murakami's work, the man with soles of wind who devours words and asphalt."
