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.

評分##其實小時候看過中文版,但是不怎麼記得瞭。讀英文版的開頭覺得整個文風好親切,和以前用中文讀的村上都有點不一樣(每次讀英譯都有這種感覺)。年齡漸長讀書的樂趣竟然多齣來一項:重讀的時候像從沒讀過一樣。其實和挪威森林氣氛差不多,人的孤獨和終究莫名妥協掉的愛情。這個階段村上寫的每本書都像是path not taken的他自己。
