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.

评分##孤独啊,看得我百感交集。多年后读英文版,感觉更像我想象中的村上。“Understanding is but the sum of our misunderstanding."可能是代表全书的重要句子,但如何理解”人与人是否可以产生联结“,依旧是读者自己的事。至少无论是高中还是现在,我都很能对村上的情感描写产生共鸣(他写女子间情感也真的很有一手啊)。Sputnik也依然是我至爱的村上小说之一。
