High-class call girls billed to Mastercard. A psychic 13-year-old dropout with a passion for Talking Heads. A hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers. A one-armed beach-combing poet, an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem. Combine this offbeat cast of characters with Murakami's idiosyncratic prose and out comes Dance Dance Dance. It is an assault on the sense, part murder mystery, part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car. (20021018)
Around 10 years ago, after reading the chinese edition I wondered what would happen in my thirties? lonely,detached,abandoned? It took me 3 years to fiinish the english edition.Now I am 35, jobless and making food by myself, feeding the cat around the house. It's lonely, detached, but it's morning.
评分##终于看出来 Raymond chandler 是真爱了
评分##很好读但不至于用词平淡,喜欢这个版本。另外penguin的vintage印刷太好闻了,读之前要猛吸一口,属于是中毒了。
评分##这个翻译甚是喜欢
评分##它写说没事可做的时候go to the barber's 我这样做了 说实话我一度很嫉妒“我”可以无所事事地等待命运传唤 身为村上笔下的角色从不缺钱 但我想“我”经历的孤独是值得同情的 故事的尾声时我也好想牵住yumiyoshi的手
评分##村上春樹的书真不适合心情低落时阅读——越读胸口越有如被灌铅般感受,整个人想大声呐喊。海豚酒店、羊人、雪、中年人颓废的心情⋯⋯
评分##比中译所谓的“村上春树体”要好读太多了。记得在夏威夷的海滩上读narrator和小女孩在夏威夷take break
评分##Audible 21/01. The English version is absolutely fantastic! I start to enjoy murakami’s work. “I” was looking for something that was tangible; was trying to get back a tractable life. Or had my life ever been controlled? Such a feeling of powerlessness becomes severer once getting elder.
评分##i like yuki best
