Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This book is another important novel published by Haruki Murakami immediately after "Norwegian Wood". Its content is connected with "A Wild Sheep Chase". The protagonist "I" is the same person as the protagonist in "A Wild Sheep Chase". The novel is divided into two clues. One is that "I" and my old classmate, the movie star Gotanda, met two call girls. Gotanda killed them out of psychological distortion and committed suicide by jumping into the sea. The other is that "I" met the lonely girl "Xue", her photographer mother "Yu" and "Yu"'s boyfriend Dick, but the kind Dick died in a car accident. "I" spent a terrifying time under the shadow of death, and finally fell in love with a hotel waitress and gained a sense of security.
The novel reveals how the irrationality of capitalist society distorts people's minds, as well as the spiritual loneliness and fragility of life in such a society. Its approach interweaves reality and fantasy, and its artistic level is superb.
This book was published by Lijiang Publishing House and has had a wide influence among readers.
