Haruki Murakami, the internationally bestselling author of Norwegian Wood and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle , plunges us into an urbane Japan of jazz bars, coffee shops, Jack Kerouac, and the Beatles to tell this story of a tangled triangle of uniquely unrequited loves.
A college student, identified only as “K,” falls in love with his classmate, Sumire. But devotion to an untidy writerly life precludes her from any personal commitments–until she meets Miu, an older and much more sophisticated businesswoman. When Sumire disappears from an island off the coast of Greece, “K” is solicited to join the search party and finds himself drawn back into her world and beset by ominous, haunting visions. A love story combined with a detective story, Sputnik Sweetheart ultimately lingers in the mind as a profound meditation on human longing.

##这本真的挺难看的。后半部完全跳着读完
##2018.12.17-12.23.为什么村上春树每次都只能写半部好书?冰冷的在太空寂寞旋转的Sputnik是多么妙的隐喻,可是我觉得故事的后半段从男主人公去希腊开始就崩了,实在是太遗憾了。
##In her own special way she'd kept me tethered to the world.As I talked to see things I'd never seen before.Without even trying,we grew close.Like a pair of young lovers undressing in front of each other,Sumire and I exposed our hearts to each other,an experience I'd never have with anyone else,anywhere..
##前期作品一直都弥漫着一种感伤的虚无主义,写的是消费时代下大众的孤独主题。在这篇小说中,孤独的主题仍被继续延伸。当堇自从发现对敏的心意时便将其称作“斯普特尼克恋人”,斯普特尼克的音译是旅伴的意思,但发射的两颗斯普特尼克卫星却没能收回,因此斯普特尼克的隐藏含义却是孤独。此次村上将孤独的主题发挥到极致。但在作品中,在孤独主题前提下,开始了自我寻找、自我质疑的写作意识,K常常在自问我是什么,我在追求什么,我要往哪里去,村上开始自我的寻求定义与确定,这与以往的“都市文学”有所进步,不再是那种文本的陌生化,保持着一定的距离,只一味地沉浸在自己所营造的世界中,由介入精神的寻求到至今的承担起文学救赎。
##so sad yet speak to my heart. Makes me wanna write my own story.
##Lockdown期间还蛮适合读村上春树,暂逃现实的方舟。这两天接二连三收到合作伙伴被裁员的消息,颇有种活在乱世战火中的错觉。但是吧,既然无法幸免于这次沉船,索性继续演奏吧...
