Dance Dance
Dance - Haruki Murakami
A sequel of sorts to A Wild Sheep Chase continuimg from where that
book ends, with the same characters.
The narrator, after the adventures of the Sheep, attempts to return
to normal life, but after years, finds himself unable to do so. He
is haunted by his mysteriously vanished girlfriend with the
exquisite ears. And so he plunges himself into finding her.
In his search, he finds the drab hotel they stayed at transformed
into a chic and upmarket hotel. And meets up with The Sheep Man,
and there is violence and murder, along with a teenaged psychic
with strange dysfunctional parents.
It all comes to a head in a weird and wonderful climax which is
typically original from the master storyteller who is
Murakami.
Recommended. 4 out of 5
