This is a good read, but (as should be somewhat obvious from the title) it's the author's observations about running and not one of his novels.

As a non runner who has read most of his fiction, is this with checking out? Always seemed like such a well I don't know, like his t shirt book.

The text sample and the audible sample at the link are direct ways to let you decide whether this literate and introspective author's musings on writing and running will resonate and appeal to you. Checking his Wikipedia bio will give you an idea of his background.

Because the book isn't really about running.

Great book if you like running or Murakami. Even better if you like both. Probably won't be very interesting if you like neither.

It's a bit of a memoir so that's quite interesting. You might sign up for a marathon by the end of it though. I certainly did

It's because it's a nod to Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.
