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)
##Murakami is suitable for loneliness. Reading Yuki, Rock music, death, Kiki, sheepman over and over. But I still haven't a clue about the sheepman and six skeletons. Not good enough to understand every details, anyhow I shall read Chinese version on my way.
评分##八月下半慢悠悠的读完了英文版 确实与多年前看中文相比顺畅了一些 刚看完了漫长的告别 感受到了一些微妙的相似 但还是十分喜欢 尤其喜欢与yuki相处与其说的一些话
评分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##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##People are dying around me.
评分##一贯的笔法,扭曲的情感。村上的书不能多看,人会变得神经衰弱。
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##关注的更是其中的一些小细节,情节什么的不重要
