"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."Fun fact: Did you know that Murakami is a city in Japan?In the past, I've only had a passing acquaintance with Murakami and his work, having read 'Birthday Girl' and 'The Strange Library' but somehow I was drawn to his non-fiction.'What I talk about when I talk about running' is too short to be a memoir and too loosely structured to be an essay. It's rather a meditation on the life Murakami lived before he embarked on the path to be a writer and the life he built after he decided to become a writer and took up running as a means to sustain his writer's life.
