Justdon'tletyourfeetstop. (179)A Rendition of The Sheep ManWhat did you expect? A normal talking conventional character? Of courseThis is my first foray (redundant much? please forgive)into Murakami. I hate to say that I'm actually surprised that I enjoyed it so much. I don't know, maybe I just assumed that since I'm not really into Asian Culture that I would write it off and just know that at least I'd given it a try. The first person narrative approach usually doesn't work for me. I have a hard time escaping into the story, knowing that the character is just relaying it to me. But, here, the protaganist is able to engage
Dance, Dance is a meandering novel set in a fragile world where if youre not careful, you can slip through invisible doors to the other side. Never mind- it is just too difficult to describe. I love Murakami. It doesnt matter to me that this novel isnt his best- it is wonderful. Reading it made me happy.
in the world war of short fiction writers, he is Hiroshima
Count me in on that comment he writes for me. Similar to his stories, I just feel carried away somewhere in unknown places. Scary 😀
As one of Haruki Murakami's earlier novels, Dance Dance Dance is quite a feat. I really did enjoy it, but found a number of flaws that lessened my opinion of the work. It appears to be a sequel to the novel A Wild-Sheep Chase, which I have read, but the story lines overlap almost imperceptibly, meaning no, you do not have to read one in order to read the other. Dance Dance Dance has an almost nonexistent plot line. The main character is a middle-aged divorcee at a dead end job who is so
3 and 1/2 stars. I enjoyed this, but like its 'prequel' A Wild Sheep Chase (though I found it unlike its prequel in style and tone) I think it's not as accomplished as his other works. With its elements of an unaffected (though likable) unnamed narrator and a missing woman, this is a good intro to Murakami. The only 'standard' Murakami element that seems to be missing is the theme of the effects of war on individuals. But there is plenty on other kinds of personal politics, such as the effects
