具體描述
Japan's most widely-read and controversial writer, author of A Wild Sheep Chase, hurtles into the consciousness of the West with this narrative about a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters--not to mention Bob Dylan and Lauren Bacall.
用戶評價
##Emptiness. Beyond sadness and solitude. How can it be more desperate yet magical than having a soul eternally trapped in its own void existence? "Some limited happiness had been granted this limited life."
##村上以這種三流文筆在故事裏瘋狂填充信息量、援引西方音樂電影文學的作風，真的很像個知乎謝邀答題的。
##as long as you stay away with your dictionary you can really get into english readings that's not hard at all...村上絕逼是哲學粉
##完美避過林少華譯本。

##The absence of fighting or hatred or desire also means the opposites do not exist either. No joy, no communion, no love.
##很難想象這本書齣版於1985年，至今最愛的村上春樹。The end of the world 如此優雅動人。推薦英文版。
##i see the end of the world as a metaphor for the buddhist mind, which is undesirable, non-existent
##無論是形式還是內容都彆開生麵，齣手不凡。小說依照兩條乍看不相關的平行綫嚮前鋪展：一為冷酷仙境，一為世界盡頭。冷酷仙境以東京大都市為舞颱，展開一場波譎去詭的現代信息大戰，場麵時為高樓林立的地上，時而轉入陰冷森黑、山險水惡、“夜鬼”齣沒的地下，可謂狂瀾迭起，險象環生，科學狂人們為瞭獲得足以控製它們思維係統的計算數據，努力讀解“頭蓋骨”之謎，以圖稱霸世界，而在世界盡頭，則彆有洞天。山川寂寥，村捨井然，人們相安無事，隻可惜人無身影，無記憶，也無心。男女可以相親卻不能相愛，愛需要心，而心已被嵌入獨角獸的頭骨化為“古夢”，於是我每天讀夢不止。富虛幻色的廳思妙想之作，將荒誕的構思與嚴肅的主題巧妙揉閤在一起，寓莊於諧，虛實相生，一幅經過變形處理的資本主義世界中人們虛幻心態的絕妙縮景。
