具體描述
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.

##中英譯本前後加起來這是第三遍讀瞭吧，順便我喜歡荒木的那個裸女封麵
評分##開頭寫的 真好
評分##在不一樣的孤獨裏等待相似的重逢。
評分##“And I started to feel that being all alone is a terribly lonely thing.”
評分突然抽瞭風想試試村上春樹的英文譯本，印象裏小時候很喜歡這本斯普特尼特戀人，就拿它試手。村上春樹那種輕飄飄的故事和語言，轉換成英語，有一些水土不服，神秘性減弱，語言層次不夠。小時候故事帶來的那種感觸，不再有瞭。也可能不同年齡對這類故事也會反應不同吧。
評分##心中有個空洞、腦中有個黑洞、寂寞又奇怪的大人們...
評分##“And I started to feel that being all alone is a terribly lonely thing.”
評分##“男主讀Sumire的日記裏間接講述Miu在摩天輪上的經曆”，非常妙，5am自己在客廳讀齣瞭一身冷汗。pacing非常妙，對虛幻與真實之間的模糊的綫把握也非常妙， 村上真的是一個很擅長布置misenscene的人
評分##第一次看村上作品的英文版，行文非常簡練，閱讀體驗極好（主要指很少碰到生詞。。。）至於內容，很多東西還都是村上常寫的那些，這一側/那一側，人的分裂之類的。不同的是，這本寫到瞭蕾絲。。。還有希臘。。。看完好像去希臘～
