Description
In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a dozen critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and--even more important--on his writing.--From publisher description.

Description
On November 25, 1970, the world-renowned Japanese writer Yukio Mishima committted seppuku with his own antique sword. In the decades since, Mishima's suicide has been called many things: a hankering for heroism; a beautiful, perverse drama; a political protest; the epitaph of a mad genius.
