具体描述
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.

村上君的书翻成英语简直浑然天成呐
##the story is about a middle-aged man having an extramarital affair with another woman, i would call it a tale.
##此译者的语言太大白话了点……
##更像是村上的半自传，渣男在有钱岳父的帮助下开了2酒吧，偶遇25年前的同学后激情复燃找了一堆理由为自己开脱刚要奋不顾身和爱人走天涯的时候，同学消失了。自我折磨了一阵儿看没啥结果又回到了老婆身边的故事。#四个字概括思想：no zuo no die
##Shimamoto, Izumi, Yukiko是同一个女性的不同命运，她们与主人公的爱恨纠葛充满了深层的无可奈何。现代社会中爱情犹如在一片沙漠中徒劳努力，毁灭与幸福只存在于瞬间。
