具體描述
Growing up in the suburbs in post-war Japan, it seemed to Hajime that everyone but him had brothers and sisters. His sole companion was Shimamoto, also an only child. Together they spent long afternoons listening to her father's record collection. But when his family moved away, the two lost touch. Now Hajime is in his thirties. After a decade of drifting he has found happiness with his loving wife and two daughters, and success running a jazz bar. Then Shimamoto reappears. She is beautiful, intense, enveloped in mystery. Hajime is catapulted into the past, putting at risk all he has in the present.

##作為英文譯本, 它是直接的、簡單的，可能不復有原文或中譯的東方文學的晦澀、委婉距離。很喜歡書名，它廣闊、無限，讀完後卻要你nowhere to go。村上的書常常從後半部起會牢牢拴住你，從細流匯入海洋，集塵土為沙漠的總總孤獨終將你吞噬。“Shimamoto-san,”
