[Review Buku] What I Talk About When I Talk About Running oleh Haruki Murakami


Tahun 2013 adalah pertama kalinya saya serius mendalami literatur luar negeri. Masih ingat betul, salah satu buku yang saya pilih adalah milik Murakami: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. Saya cari versi cetaknya, saya garis bawahi kata yang asing (banyak banget), dan saya baca sampai di titik saya menyerah. Saat itu saya tahu kalau Haruki Murakami adalah penulis hebat, sehingga karyanya pasti bagus. Tapi toh, saya tetap nggak mudeng di buku ini dia ngomong apa dan berhenti di bab kedua.
