具体描述
Twenty two year old, Sumire is in love for the first time with a woman seventeen years her senior. But, whereas Miu is a glamorous and successful older woman with a taste for classical music and fine wine, Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second hand coat and heavy boots like a character in a Jack Kerouac novel. Surprised that she might, after all, be a lesbian, Sumire spends hours on the phone talking to her best friend, K about the big questions in life: what is sexual desire and should she ever tell Miu how she feels about her? K, a primary school teacher, is used to answering questions, but what he most wants to say to Sumire is "I love you." He consoles himself by having an affair with the mother of one of his pupils. But, when a desperate Miu calls him out of the blue from a sunny Greek island and asks for his help, he soon discovers that all is not as it seems and something very strange has happened to Sumire.

##开头写的 真好
评分##有好处，有迷人处，亦有用力过甚的地方。
评分##中英译本前后加起来这是第三遍读了吧，顺便我喜欢荒木的那个裸女封面
评分##第一次看村上作品的英文版，行文非常简练，阅读体验极好（主要指很少碰到生词。。。）至于内容，很多东西还都是村上常写的那些，这一侧/那一侧，人的分裂之类的。不同的是，这本写到了蕾丝。。。还有希腊。。。看完好像去希腊～
评分##The charm of Haruki Murakami style remains.
评分突然抽了风想试试村上春树的英文译本，印象里小时候很喜欢这本斯普特尼特恋人，就拿它试手。村上春树那种轻飘飘的故事和语言，转换成英语，有一些水土不服，神秘性减弱，语言层次不够。小时候故事带来的那种感触，不再有了。也可能不同年龄对这类故事也会反应不同吧。
评分##“男主读Sumire的日记里间接讲述Miu在摩天轮上的经历”，非常妙，5am自己在客厅读出了一身冷汗。pacing非常妙，对虚幻与真实之间的模糊的线把握也非常妙， 村上真的是一个很擅长布置misenscene的人
评分##比喻好有想象力
