i've never read any murakami and had the idea his work was difficult or inaccessible but this book is conversational, almost casual. the thrust of this seems to be how he's grown as a person through running, that he needs to put his thoughts down in writing to understand situations clearly. there's a promise of relatability, or perhaps bringing something to the surface? i'll commit to the first three chapters...

this book is really for existing fans of the author who are also runners. while this has occasional sparks it's overall quite dull and gives me the impression that perhaps running is quite boring as well. oh! i'm halfway through and it's short so i may as well finish. the insights aren't all that amazing, it's "writing a novel takes endurance like a marathon" and obvious things like that
