具體描述
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.

##split. the part about carrot?..
##Lockdown期間還蠻適閤讀村上春樹，暫逃現實的方舟。這兩天接二連三收到閤作夥伴被裁員的消息，頗有種活在亂世戰火中的錯覺。但是吧，既然無法幸免於這次沉船，索性繼續演奏吧...
##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..
##前期作品一直都彌漫著一種感傷的虛無主義，寫的是消費時代下大眾的孤獨主題。在這篇小說中，孤獨的主題仍被繼續延伸。當堇自從發現對敏的心意時便將其稱作“斯普特尼剋戀人”，斯普特尼剋的音譯是旅伴的意思，但發射的兩顆斯普特尼剋衛星卻沒能收迴，因此斯普特尼剋的隱藏含義卻是孤獨。此次村上將孤獨的主題發揮到極緻。但在作品中，在孤獨主題前提下，開始瞭自我尋找、自我質疑的寫作意識，K常常在自問我是什麼，我在追求什麼，我要往哪裏去，村上開始自我的尋求定義與確定，這與以往的“都市文學”有所進步，不再是那種文本的陌生化，保持著一定的距離，隻一味地沉浸在自己所營造的世界中，由介入精神的尋求到至今的承擔起文學救贖。
##沒有什麼是真實的，我們看到的不過是按照我們想看到的樣子呈現的世界。
##so sad yet speak to my heart. Makes me wanna write my own story.
##I spread my fingers apart and stare at the palms of both hands, looking for bloodstains. There aren’t any. No scent of blood, no stiffness. The blood must have already, in its own silent way, seeped inside.
