In South of the Border, West of the Sun , the simple arc of a man's life--with its attendant rhythms of success and disappointment--becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Haruki Murakami's most haunting work.
Born in 1951 in an affluent Tokyo suburb, Hajime-- beginning in Japanese--has arrived at middle age wanting for almost nothing. The postwar years have brought him a fine marriage, two daughters, and an enviable career as the proprietor of two jazz clubs. Yet a nagging sense of inauthenticity about his success threatens Hajime's happiness. And a boyhood memory of a wise, lonely girl named Shimamoto clouds his heart.
When Shimamoto shows up one rainy night, now a breathtaking beauty with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajime's quotidian existence begin to give way. And the details of stolen moments past and present--a Nat King Cole melody, a face pressed against a window, a handful of ashes drifting downriver to the sea--threaten to undo him completely. Rich, mysterious, quietly dazzling, South of the Border, West of the Sun is Haruki Murakami's wisest and most compelling fiction.

评分##其实小时候看过中文版,但是不怎么记得了。读英文版的开头觉得整个文风好亲切,和以前用中文读的村上都有点不一样(每次读英译都有这种感觉)。年龄渐长读书的乐趣竟然多出来一项:重读的时候像从没读过一样。其实和挪威森林气氛差不多,人的孤独和终究莫名妥协掉的爱情。这个阶段村上写的每本书都像是path not taken的他自己。
评分村上君的书翻成英语简直浑然天成呐
