Introduction · · · · · ·
Sputnik, the name of the Soviet satellite, means "travel companion". Sumire, a girl who indulges in creation, suddenly declares that she "loves" her fellow musician, Min, who is 17 years older than her, and becomes her travel companion on her European trip. However, on the small island in Greece, Sumire mysteriously disappears, because she finds that her "lover" is just a shell, and his soul has long disappeared in a thrilling night - the girl who is desperate for love of the opposite sex can also not pursue the illusion of same-sex love. "Why do people have to be so lonely?" A young man who has a one-sided love for Sumire murmurs to himself, "Is this planet nourished by people's loneliness to maintain its operation?"
Haruki Murakami's latest novel is a fresh exploration of the nature of human loneliness.
