具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##看到瞭虛實兩個島本：一個是十二歲時握“我”的手握瞭十秒的島本，一個是“我”二十八歲時在東京街頭緊隨不捨的穿紅色風衣的仿佛島本的島本；一個是在箱根彆墅同“我”長時間實實在在交閤的島本，一個是翌日清晨在枕頭上留下腦形凹坑而蹤影皆無的島本。一個是此側現實世界中的島本，一個是“國境以南太陽以西”的島本。而我就隨著兩個島本往來並迷失於現實和虛幻之間。其中有兩個典型的細節。一個是那個迷一樣的男人為瞭阻止他尾隨島本而給他的裝有十萬日元的信封後來從抽屜裏不翼而飛；另一個是島本送給他的那張舊唱片隨著島本從箱根彆墅的消失而無從找見。使得他無法融入現實，感覺上就好像被孤零零地拋到沒有生命跡象的乾裂的大地，紛至遝來的幻影將周圍所有色彩吮盡吸乾。對自己本身和自己置身其間的高度發達的資本主義社會産生虛幻感。
評分##Life is only meaningful when illusions play with the reality.
評分##更像是村上的半自傳，渣男在有錢嶽父的幫助下開瞭2酒吧，偶遇25年前的同學後激情復燃找瞭一堆理由為自己開脫剛要奮不顧身和愛人走天涯的時候，同學消失瞭。自我摺磨瞭一陣兒看沒啥結果又迴到瞭老婆身邊的故事。#四個字概括思想：no zuo no die
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。
評分##Shimamoto, Izumi, Yukiko是同一個女性的不同命運，她們與主人公的愛恨糾葛充滿瞭深層的無可奈何。現代社會中愛情猶如在一片沙漠中徒勞努力，毀滅與幸福隻存在於瞬間。
評分##I love his words, as always.
評分##Life is only meaningful when illusions play with the reality.
評分##書寫的不錯，故事簡直就是無病呻吟沒事找事。
評分##[I always feel like I'm struggling to become someone else.]
