About the author
Haruki Murakami
593?books128k?followersHaruki Murakami (村上春树) is a Japanese writer. His novels, essays, and short stories have been best-sellers in Japan and internationally, with his work translated into 50 languages and having sold millions of copies outside Japan. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Gunzo Prize for New Writers, the World Fantasy Award, the Tanizaki Prize, Yomiuri Prize for Literature, the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the Noma Literary Prize, the Franz Kafka Prize, the Kiriyama Prize for Fiction, the 欧宝娱乐 Choice Awards for Best Fiction, the Jerusalem Prize, and the Princess of Asturias Awards.
Growing up in Ashiya, near Kobe before moving to Tokyo to attend Waseda University, he published his first novel Hear the Wind Sing (1979) after working as the owner of a small jazz bar for seven years. His notable works include the novels Norwegian Wood (1987), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994–95), Kafka on the Shore (2002) and 1Q84 (2009–10); the last was ranked as the best work of Japan's Heisei era (1989–2019) by the national newspaper Asahi Shimbun's survey of literary experts. His work spans genres including science fiction, fantasy, and crime fiction, and has become known for his use of magical realist elements. His official website cites Raymond Chandler, Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan as key inspirations to his work, while Murakami himself has named Kazuo Ishiguro, Cormac McCarthy and Dag Solstad as his favourite currently active writers. Murakami has also published five short story collections, including First Person Singular (2020), and non-fiction works including Underground (1997), an oral history of the Tokyo subway sarin attack, and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running (2007), a memoir about his experience as a long distance runner.
His fiction has polarized literary critics and the reading public. He has sometimes been criticised by Japan's literary establishment as un-Japanese, leading to Murakami's recalling that he was a "black sheep in the Japanese literary world". Meanwhile, Murakami has been described by Gary Fisketjon, the editor of Murakami's collection The Elephant Vanishes (1993), as a "truly extraordinary writer", while Steven Poole of The Guardian praised Murakami as "among the world's greatest living novelists" for his oeuvre.

I can't really justify my love of Murakami. As far as I'm concerned, he writes novels specifically for me to read them. It would probably save us both a lot of time and trouble if he'd skip the publishing process and just slip his finished manuscripts under my door. So I'm biased, you could say.
In short: this is early (ish) Murakami. If you dig it you'll dig it, if not you won't. I dig it.
Just make sure you've read his "Trilogy of the Rat" before reading this. Seriously. It's important. Or at the very LEAST make sure you've read A Wild Sheep Chase. I realize the first two in the trilogy are near-impossible to find (unless you know someone in Japan or have a lot of money to throw around), but it makes all the difference in the world.

ダンス?ダンス?ダンス = Dansu, dansu, dansu = Dance Dance Dance (The Rat #4), Haruki Murakami
Dance Dance Dance, is a novel by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. First published in 1988.
The book is a sequel to Murakami's novel A Wild Sheep Chase. In 2001, Murakami said that writing Dance Dance Dance had been a healing act after his unexpected fame following the publication of Norwegian Wood and that, because of this, he had enjoyed writing Dance more than any other.
The novel follows the surreal misadventures of an unnamed protagonist who makes a living as a commercial writer. The protagonist is compelled to return to the Dolphin Hotel, a seedy establishment where he once stayed with a woman he loved, despite the fact he never even knew her real name.
She has since disappeared without a trace, the Dolphin Hotel has been purchased by a large corporation and converted into a slick, fashionable, western-style hotel.

ORIENTARSI MENTRE IL PASSATO AUMENTA E IL FUTURO DIMINUISCE
”All God's Children Can Dance" di Robert Logevall, 2008, tratto dall’omonimo racconto di Haruki Murakami.
Un giornalista free lance giapponese di 34 anni, in cattive acque, è ridotto a scrivere servizietti e articoletti per sbancare il lunario, ma soprattutto “spala la neve”, cioè fa le cose meccanicamente, non riesce a partecipare al ritmo dell’esistenza.
A inizio romanzo si mette a cercare Kiki, ragazza squillo d’alto bordo sparita senza lasciare traccia: ha fatto un sogno e ha sentito che la ragazza lo sta chiamando, vuole che lui la trovi.
Nel corso della ricerca torna sul luogo del loro ultimo incontro, il Dolphin Hotel di Sapporo.
L’alberghetto nel quale l'uomo aveva alloggiato con la ragazza si è trasformato in un lussuoso hotel dove, prendendo l'ascensore del personale, può capitare di essere trasportati in uno spazio buio e gelato abitato da presenze inumane, tipo l’uomo-pecora. Un luogo di abissale solitudine.
”All God's Children Can Dance".
Leggendo queste pagine, ho la sensazione di vedere un vecchio film di Wim Wenders, uno di quelli degli anni Settanta, dove spazio geografico e spazio mentale coincidono.
Bello.
A un tratto, per qualche ragione, si creano degli strani collegamenti tra le cose
E sembra di entrare in un film di David Lynch.
Bello.
”Nel corso del tempo” di Wim Wenders, 1976.
Poi, quando anche l'oggetto telefono acquista personalità e anima, mi sento catapultato in un film di Kieslowski.
Bello.
Ma non è finita: a un certo punto, arriva anche Kafka, Il processo è esplicitamente citato, il protagonista lo legge e ne parla.
E secondo me, potrei anche essere dentro uno dei primi libri di Paul Auster (La Trilogia di New York, o La musica del caso, dal meraviglioso titolo, e non solo quello).
Bello.
Invece sto leggendo Murakami, che finora non mi ha deluso.
”Mulholland Drive” di David Lynch, 2001.
Per di più, questo avviene con personaggi essenzialmente insopportabili e anche un po' fasulli, e la sensazione che magari si sta leggendo una grande scemenza: ma il piacere della lettura non ne rimane minimamente intaccato.
Bravo Murakami che è riuscito in un'impresa tanto difficile, scrivere l'Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie della fine del XX secolo.
”Tre colori - Film blu” di Krzysztof Kieslowski.
Poi, però, mi viene da pensare: mi è piaciuto, l’ho goduto, ma sono parecchi anni che mi tengo lontano da Murakami. Come mai?
Probabilmente lui qui ha voluto raccontare la presa di coscienza di un indolente giornalista trentaquattrenne che non ha ancora capito come connettersi con la realtà e che alla fine di questo viaggio-avventura forse impara a farlo: danzando, ballando, senza pensare troppo, lasciandosi andare e seguendo il tempo della vita.
Ma io ho percepito che la passione di Murakami per gli universi paralleli è debordante e mal si concilia con il mio disinteresse sull’argomento.
”Il processo” di Orson Welles, 1962.

Murakami can do no wrong for me with his writing, in this case being part mystery, part metaphysics, part satire on the ills of capitalism, all with off beat characters galore... exquisite! Dance baby, dance, dance, dance! 7 out of 12, frustrating Three Star read because, for me, the magical realist take although beautiful written is still a bit of a chore to untangle/understand.

“Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely.”
By Haruki Murakami standards, Dance Dance Dance is a quick read with an identifiable plot. The novel explores alienation and human connection at the same time as our unnamed narrator investigates the disappearance many years previous of woman, Kiki, he lived with at the Dolphin Hotel. Admittedly, without Murakami's magic, the plot, tracking down a former lover, might not amount to all that much. Going back to the Dolphin Hotel, though, opens up another world where our narrator has visions of the Sheep Man and meets the awkward 13-year old psychic, Yuki. From there, you're never completely sure whether the narrator is operating in the normal world or in the world the Dolphin Hotel has opened for him.
The narrator is not named, but is familiar to readers of Murakami. The divorced man is neither happy nor unhappy, but is seen as lonely (and cited by several of the other characters as weird). This seems very much in keeping with a Murakami protagonist. Even with its surrealistic elements and Sheep Man, this is nowhere as weird as other Murakami novels I've read. Like those other novels, though, it had a meditative quality that I responded to. Still, while I really enjoyed Dance Dance Dance, I did think that it ended too quickly.
“Dance," said the Sheep Man. "Yougottadance. Aslongasthemusicplays. Yougotta dance. Don'teventhinkwhy. Starttothink, yourfeetstop. Yourfeetstop, wegetstuck. Wegetstuck, you'restuck. Sodon'tpayanymind, nomatterhowdumb. Yougottakeepthestep. Yougottalimberup. Yougottaloosenwhatyoubolteddown. Yougottauseallyougot. Weknowyou're tired, tiredandscared. Happenstoeveryone, okay? Justdon'tletyourfeetstop.”

From there, you're never completely sure whether the narrator is operating in the normal world or in the world the Dolphin Hotel has opened for him.
The narrator is not named, but is familiar to readers of Murakami. The divorced man is neither happy nor unhappy, but is seen as lonely (and cited by several of the other characters as weird). This seems very much in keeping with a Murakami protagonist. Even with its surrealistic elements and Sheep Man, this is nowhere as weird as other Murakami novels I've read. Like those other novels, though, it had a meditative quality that I responded to. Still, while I really enjoyed Dance Dance Dance, I did think that it ended too quickly.
“Dance," said the Sheep Man. "Yougottadance. Aslongasthemusicplays. Yougotta dance. Don'teventhinkwhy. Starttothink, yourfeetstop. Yourfeetstop, wegetstuck. Wegetstuck, you'restuck.

I have finally read a Murakami. I picked this up on a market stall and didn't realise it was part of a series until I listed it on GR and saw "The Rat, #4", but it works as a standalone story, albeit an intriguingly odd one. In conjures exciting unease and bafflement. It is a book of paradoxes and uncertainty, leaving me satisfied with being left, in some ways, unsatisfied.
What sort of story?
Genre labels can be useful, but can also be an irrelevant distraction. However, with this book, I found myself repeatedly wondering what type of story it was. By the end, I was still unsure, but glad of the tension caused by doubt.
At various times, this was magical-realism, murder mystery, sci-fi, political thriller, romance (not too much, thankfully!), Kafkaesque, premature mid-life crisis story, surrealist, spiritual allegory, horror/ghost story, hints of Lolita, and the narrator likens a high-tech hotel to something out of Star Wars... It might have been easier to consider what it was not.
Quirk of the '80s
It's a strange time to read a book like this: it was published, and apparently set, in 1988, which is recent enough that it feels more or less contemporary. However, that was just before Google, laptops, mobile phones etc, which means the protagonists do not have the opportunities one now takes for granted.
Set it now, and the plot would need tweaking, but in 50 years, it will be historical enough for no one to notice. Reading it now, gave it an intriguing edge that added to the general sense of shifting reality.
Connectedness and (un)reality
Connectedness is the clearest theme of the book (and one that links it to David Mitchell, a known fan of Murakami, especially Ghostwritten and Cloud Atlas).
There is perhaps unintended (or prescient?) irony in the fact that a novel that is all about connectness was written and set just before the world became dramatically more connected.
Ambiguity about what is real is the other thread: we assume the narrator is reliable (he's a journalist), but there are visions of various kinds, films, vague memories, a bit of mind reading. What is real, and what is not? As things get really weird, the narrator asks, "was the sickness in here or out there?"
Plot and Meaning
The unnamed narrator is a divorced man in his mid-30s; a freelance journalist, mostly writing restaurant reviews - a job he describes as "Shovelling snow. You know, cultural snow."
It opens with him talking about The Dolphin Hotel, and how he often dreams of it after a previous girlfriend, Kiki, took him there, then disappeared. It was a strange place: "The Dolphin Hotel was conceptually sorry... Normalness it lacked... Its corners caked with unfulfilled dreams." Four years on, he feels as if she's calling him to return, so he does. In its place, he finds the swish new Hotel Dauphin.
Dabbling in his past brings him into contact with Gotunda, a high school class mate, who is now a successful (but unfulfilled, divorced and working to pay debts and alimony) actor. They become close friends, which they hadn't been at school. Other key characters are Yumiyoshi, a pretty hotel receptionist, and Yuki, a bright thirteen year old rich drop-out, largely ignored by her divorced parents.
Characters, plot lines and reality twist and tangle, aided by dream-like visions, a portal to another dimension of reality, and a character with mild psychic abilities.
The title relates to an instruction given to the narrator quite early and that seems as if it will be the key to everything, or at least something, but nothing really comes of it (more details in spoiler).
All the way through, and especially towards the end, the narrator is musing on fate and destiny, and looking for meaning in all this - as is the reader. It never really comes, but I think that's rather the point. Had Murakami tied it all together with some ghastly homily, I think it would have ruined the book. After all, a recurring line is " What was that all about?", uttered by Kiki in a much-watched film.
In more detail:
Quotes
Surprisingly few, for me:
* "Financial dealings have practically become a religious activity."
* "You can now enjoy hybrid styles of morality."
* "You leave things to an interior designer and it ends up looking like this. Something you want to photograph, not live in."
* "Reality receded until you can't tell who's sane and who' not."
* "Amé didn't give anything. She only took. She consumed those around her to sustain herself... Her talent was manifested in a powerful gravitational pull."
* "The passage of time wasn't a practical component in her life."
* "Her ears had special power. They were like some great whirlpool of fate sucking me in."

As one of Haruki Murakami's earlier novels, Dance Dance Dance is quite a feat. I really did enjoy it, but found a number of flaws that lessened my opinion of the work. It appears to be a sequel to the novel A Wild-Sheep Chase, which I have read, but the story lines overlap almost imperceptibly, meaning no, you do not have to read one in order to read the other. Dance Dance Dance has an almost nonexistent plot line. The main character is a middle-aged divorcee at a dead end job who is so maddeningly and predictably similar to so many other Murakami main characters. He is, as usual, completely controlled by unseen forces moving around and within him and, omg, NO ONE KNOWS WHY. He appears to be almost completely helpless throughout much of the novel, with no recollections of his past. Except for a few strange women, one of whom is naturally a prostitute who has been missing for almost a decade. I am getting sick of this crap. He is surrounded by women of various ages and has all of these conflicting feelings for all of them. The truth is, I do not even care very much for the main character or his silly dealings with "The Dolphin Hotel" and "The Sheep Man." The absolute best thing about this book, and the only part I would consider as worth salvaging and am enraged that it wasn't developed more, is the 13-year old girl who the main character looks after for a while. Her name is Yuki. Snow. She is a damaged young girl who is not significantly cared for by either of her rich, famous parents, and is often alone in her big, fancy apartment. She really likes rock music - Bananarama, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Genesis, Iggy Pop - and is unnaturally beautiful. She is also psychic. Anyway, Yuki is one of the only great parts of this novel, and I read it for her.

Well that was one crazy and entertaining ride! Haruki Murakami has such a talent for creating vibrant and memorable characters, making his books such a pleasure to read. This is only the second book of his I've read (yeh, I know, this is the 4th in a series. I read them out of order; don't sue me) but nonetheless he's quickly scaling the ladder towards joining my list of favourite authors.
Now to place a hold on the first book in this series.....

This is a book about dancing. Moving your feet to the music that's playing. The question that's not clearly expressed in the book is... who the fuck is the dj? Who's dictating how to dance? Is it yourself or is it the random facts that are out of your control? My guess is that it's both. The point is you've got to keep dancing, because music will keep playing and if you fall behind, you will lose grip of yourself, your life, your dreams and whatever it is that makes you who you are.
It is also a book about introspection. Our dearly beloved hero from The Rat series, finally seems to be mature enough to give a fuck about... well, stuff. He has opinions which he often expresses, even in a harsh manner a few times. The story picks up a few months after the incidents described in The Wild Sheep Chase. Our unnamed fellow has secluded himself in his apartment in order to regain courage to face what he lost. As soon as he gets up on his feet again, he starts having dreams about his former girlfriend crying out to him. So now he basically has a new calling to pursuit. A new meaning in his life in this modern consumerist Japan.
So this is also a book about our modern society. Our hero expresses time and again his distaste for advanced-capitalism which has taken over his country. Yet, he finds himself tangled in the very essence of it. He reunites with a friend from junior high who has become a rich, Maserati-driving actor. He becomes friends with a 13-year-old girl (who by the way is one of the most interesting and best developed characters Murakami has ever created) whose parents are both loaded and totally absent, lost in their own worlds as a result of their capitalistic ways of life. So he basically keeps getting money for nothing and soon enough finds himself eating in high-class restaurants and going on fully paid vacation in Hawaii. All this in the middle of his own quest for meaning. A meaning which remains hidden inside dark corridors of another reality, riddled with mysterious murders commited for reasons unknown even to those who commit them, and rooms with skeletons of people not yet dead.
Which brings us to the fact that this is a book about death. An ever-present death that haunts our hero's attempt to find the meaning of life. Strange antithesis, isn't it? Six skeletons are revealed to him at some point, five of which make sense as the story develops. The sixth remains a mystery. All these elements make our hero desperate to cling to somebody. Having reached a certain age and lost quite a few people, he realizes he can't afford to lose anymore. The message is clear. People vanish from our lives in the blink of an eye. When we have experienced this fact, we tend to fear for everyone we have. This cry lingers inside all of us. And when it comes out, it does so phenomenically through someone else. In reality it is our own desperate cry for help. We project our own doubts and fears on those we have or have lost. However, the point is each of us has his own dance to perform. The ultimate trick is to change the record when the music doesn't suit you anymore.

This was either my 2nd or 3rd Murakami book and it did make me feel like jumping up and dancing sometimes. It is a wonderful story full of action and crazy characters and Murakami's absurdist sense of humour and attention to detail. A pure reading delight!

A wonderful book, a deep, at times dark, occasionally inscrutable book, a wonderful sequel to, or continuation of, the wonderful "A Wild Sheep Chase", "Dance Dance Dance" is even better. This is a book about appetites, sex, drink, rock and roll and also Muzak, conformity, insanity, ennui and death - and it deliciously escapes the boundaries of a book review. The characters are memorable, whether they are mixed up or buttoned up or...the Sheepman. Perhaps the character Hiraku Makimura (!) could make you understand how special this book is, but no, his bank account is far bigger than his talent. There's lots of humor and send-ups of different genres but Murakami doesn't shy away from tender passages and poignant moments. And oh that Sheepman! It's an astonishing work that defies description and convention, and I want to discuss it with my best friend over beer and anchovy pizza.

“Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”
A sequel to the Rat Trilogy, Dance Dance Dance was, in fact, a response to the unexpected fame that Norwegian Wood had brought to Murakami. There are references to trends and capitalism and consumerism and the vacuous concept of celebrity status and also the usual Murakami themes of alienation and the sudden discovery of a human connection. Also, there are references of mortality and the downsides of the "celebrity" image.
Dance Dance Dance has our anonymous narrator, suffering from existential dread, going back to some of the thematic venues of A Wild Sheep Chase in search of a past connection. He receives cryptic instructions from the enigmatic Sheep Man and goes on to strike up a friendship with a teenager who suffers similar emotions of alienation. He makes acquaintances of a number of celebrities, some quite eccentric, and comes across some unusual metaphorical visions (or are they portals to other worlds?) during his adventures. There are many recurring lines and metaphors, almost repetitive, but in a good way.

Confession: My own personal dream place is (also!) a hotel. It's resplendent, like some Titanic made up of wood & steel, with countless windows & deep pools. The Dolphin Hotel in H. Murakami's novel is a similar terrain: where the stuff of the subconscious mixes with everyday trivialities.
This is quintessential Murakami. The protagonist is an antisocial recluse who takes on a journey between the space of the actual and the cranial. Motifs like the double, the femme fetale, countless types of David Lynch topsy turvy abound. You always get left with the same feeling of dysmorphia, of magical realism, as in any of his other works.

That memoir about running made me want to read more Murakami again. I guess enough years have passed since I read Killing Commendatore. Anyway, first I read a couple of his New Yorker stories (about a monkey who steals names. They're fun and strangely chill) to see if I wanted to try the new short story collection. Then, when I decided that I wanted to read a novel instead, I picked up this book.
If you've read a lot of Murakami already, this one will be very familiar. The main character goes somewhere strange, loses his wife/girlfriend, finds some money, then has strange adventures as he tries to get the wife/girlfriend back. It's full of the casual macho oggling of women and dismissive hookups, plus a very uncomfortable relationship with a 13 year old girl. Pretty standard Murakami overall.
This one also has an interesting sustained critique of wasteful capitalism. And there's a good mystery about a bad hotel that expands into a few larger mysteries. It flows well and I thought it got more interesting as the book went on. I've read a lot of Murakami novels at this point, and I think compared to the others, this one is pretty solid. I ended up enjoying it, especially whenever the sheep man showed up.

“Dance, Dance” is a meandering novel set in a fragile world where if you’re not careful, you can slip through invisible doors to the other side. Never mind- it is just too difficult to describe. I love Murakami. It doesn’t matter to me that this novel isn’t his best- it is wonderful. Reading it made me happy.

I fall in love with every girl I see. Every girl I meet. It's true. I fall in love a hundred times in a week. It's always been like that. So very easy to look at these girls and their legs and their teeth while they ride the bus with me, while they shop for groceries next to me, while they wait in line at the bank in front of me. Because I don't have to really connect to them then. I don't have to really see the nakedness and the scars and the tan lines and the pimples under the makeup. I don't have to k ow how old they really are or if they were abused by other lovers. I don't have to take the time to get to know them. I just make it all up in my head. Funny how I always have them break my heart, then, in the end. I never write a happy ending.
Don't get me wrong, I have loved truly and deeply many many times before on very real levels. But those are very far between all the other fantasies, all the dream girls, running through my waking days. That's the way I feel about Murakami, though. That most of these other books and authors are those girls I meet in passing or at parties, the ones who really aren't real. But that Murakami is so real, so devilishly real that he breaks my heart in ways I never knew it could be. Finds fault lines I didn't know were there. And that he lingers in the mind long after he's gone, unlike the fleeting legs and teeth of bus stop romances.
Listen:
This is how an existentialist writes a metaphysical pulp fiction. And it's really good. My only problem, which seems to be a hallmark of modern Japanese literature, is that at times it feels tedious and that tedium made me feel tired. But slogging through that, you come out into a bright an beautiful book that will sneak up on you. You'll be thinking about it for days after, while you're trying to read other books. Getting lost in that feeling of a great love that came to an end.
Don't get me wrong, I have loved truly and deeply many many times before on very real levels. But those are very far between all the other fantasies, all the dream girls, running through my waking days. That's the way I feel about Murakami, though. That most of these other books and authors are those girls I meet in passing or at parties, the ones who really aren't real. But that Murakami is so real, so devilishly real that he breaks my heart in ways I never knew it could be. Finds fault lines I didn't know were there. And that he lingers in the mind long after he's gone, unlike the fleeting legs and teeth of bus stop romances.

E?ri oturup do?ru konu?al?m. Murakami her sabah uyand???nda kafas?na gelen ilk fikri ard? arkas?na s?ral?yormu? gibi yaz?yor ve biz de bu kitaplar? ??kar ??kmaz al?p, bir oturu?ta okuyup bitiriyoruz. Ben buna “uydurma ?zgünlük” ad?n? takt?m. Murakami’nin ba?ar?s? benim okuma tecrübeme g?re bu uydurma ?zgünlü?e dayan?yor. ?zgünlükten o kadar yoksunuz ki, hayal gücünün s?n?rlar?n? henüz kapamam?? cesur bir bar i?letmecisinin bir gün ??k?p bize bir ?eyler uydurmas?n? bekliyormu?uz.
Kendini de garantiye alm?? bu i?letmeci. Kimse ??k?p da “Ya o 345. sayfadaki mevzu nas?l ba?land? ?imdi?”, “Bir k?z ka??r?ld?yd?, bir inek u?tuydu(ya da bir k?z ine?e d?nü?ürken havada patlay?p ya?mur olarak ya?d?yd?). Ona ne oldu?” diye ??k?p da soramaz. Murakami size ta?lar?n yerine oturdu?u bir okuma tecrübesi sunmuyor zaten. Rüyalar aleminde pamuk ?ekerden bulutlar?n üzerinde atlay?p duruyor. Arada dü?üyor, ?lüyor, ruhlar alemine ge?iyor. Sonra bir gizli ge?it buluyor yeniden canlan?yor ve bir fare dostu onu sevgiyle kucakl?yor.
Murakami bir ba?ar? hikayesidir ve edebiyat ile ilgisi olan herkesin iyi bir eser ortaya koyabilece?inin kan?t?d?r. Ben de bu ba?ar? hikayesinin ilerleyi?ini izlemekten keyif ald???m i?in s?kl?kla elime Murakami kitaplar? al?yorum. Her ne kadar ?ok sevdi?imi s?yleyemesem de, hatta baz? kitaplar?n? hi? anlamasam bile (Kad?ns?z Erkeklerdeki baz? hikayeler, Mesle?im Yazarl?k kitab? vs.) uydurma ?zgünlü?ü ile nas?l dünya ?ap?nda bir yazar oldu?unu tecrübe etmekten zevk al?yorum.
Dans Dans Dans ?zelinde bir ?ey yazmad?m. ?ünkü bence Murakami’nin bir kitab? ?zelinde bir ?ey yazmak pek mümkün de?il, ya da anlaml? de?il, ya da ben pek tercih etmiyorum. Ne yazaca??m? Kiki ile Koyun Adam’?n aras?ndaki ba?lant?y? m? sorgulayaca??m? Size s?yleyeyim. Onun kitaplar?nda olan hi?bir ?eyin birbiriyle bir ba?lant?s? yok! B?yle bir beklentiye girdi?imden, ilk defa bir Murakami okudu?umda ?ok k?zm??, yazar?n benimle dalga ge?ti?ini dü?ünmü?tüm. Fakat bu minvalde yazan bir yazar?n dünya ?ap?nda isim yapm?? olmas? da beni fazlas?yla etkilemi?ti.
2018 y?l?nda, !f Ba??ms?z Filmler Festivali kapsam?nda g?sterilen ve ?o?u kimsenin sonradan aray?p da bulamad???n? s?yledi?i Murakami’yi Dü?lemek (Dreaming Murakami) filmini de anal?m buradan. ??in do?rusu, bir ?eylerin sanki ?ok büyük laflar edecekmi? edas?yla gizemli bir ?ekilde ortaya ??k?p, anlams?z bir iki cümle s?yleyip ortadan kaybolmas? bana pek de keyifli bir sinema ya da okuma tecrübesi ya?atm?yor; fakat onun beni bu sefer nas?l bir uydurmaca kurgunun i?ine ?ekece?ini tecrübe etmekten de geri duram?yorum.
Herkese iyi okumalar diliyorum

“Dance," said the Sheep Man. "Yougottadance. Aslongasthemusicplays. Yougottadance. Don'teventhinkwhy. Starttothink, onyourfeet, yourfeetstop, wegetstuck. Wegetstuck, you'restuck. Sodon'tpayanymind, nomatterhowdumb. Yougottakeepthestep. Yougottalimberup. Yougottaloosenwhatyoubolteddown. Yougottauseallyougot. Weknowyou'retired, tiredandscared. Happenstoeveryone,okay? Justdon'tletyourfeetstop.” (179)
A Rendition of The Sheep Man
What did you expect? A normal talking conventional character? Of course not. There’s nothing like that here, or anywhere in Murakami’s work it would seem.
“I often dream about the Dolphin Hotel."(6)
follows a nameless narrator haunted by recurring dreams of a hotel, The Dolphin Hotel, he was brought to by a high-end call girl. Whether it is the hotel or the call girl that keeps bringing him back, he cannot recall, nor seem to totally forget. He decided, after a life of indecisiveness, to finally return to the Hotel, only to find the place to have been lost to a capitalist investment of the same nature and the same name. He struggles to establish connections in the world, as he was advised to ‘dance’, and in these mishaps, went looking for a lost love, was accompanied by stoic-faced laconic-responsed thirteen-year old girl gifted with limited clairvoyance and meets an old high-school acquaintance.
I was almost irretrievably tempted to write this review in the Sheep Man’s language above, one without the proper spaces between words, but after trying it on the first few sentences, I found that it is even harder to control actions that border reflex and the subconscious, like that of tapping the space bar.
“You're probably right. As you say, I've lost and I'm lost and I'm confused. I'm not anchored to anything.”(87)
The idea that the unnamed narrator is drawn to the Dolphin Hotel made me shiver first, for an uncanny reason I quickly associated this with that of ’s Outlook Hotel. The terror and fear which characterized my reading experience with it is exchanged by curiosity and interest in this piece however. Stripping this books plethora of surrealistic aspects, we are left with a bare handed tale of a lost man who has nothing but lost connections. And that is not mere tautology for Murakami’s work’s always concern an individual who is lost or has lost something leading us to narratives which are always unique, lyrical, and impeccably fluid. These narratives, which are always open to unfathomable elucidations of the metaphors and allusions they offer don’t always provide a closure, in fact they hardly ever do, don’t they?
"The human mind dwells deep in darkness. Only the person himself knows the real reason, and maybe not even then." (359)
The impeccable lyrical prose would, however, seem to me to be, mere icing on the cake. What compelled me to read another Murakami within a week of finishing was how tangible, how alive, he has brought his characters to life in a surrealistic world. They are alive in their search for meanings, in their struggle to make human connections in an unforgiving world, they were the struggles of the everyday individual, they were mine too.
Murakami’s style is deftly his own. Me may be in a fickle love-hate relationship considering your other works, but just as you have written, there are certain individuals who exclusively bring you to euphoric places, and in a literary perspective you do fit the bill as one of those authors. Through your words, I am transported into this unique wonderful surreal world and still remain, human, very human indeed.
An added bonus is that whenever I finish your work, I get to play this bingo! Now, where does , figure into this.
I have reviewed other books by Haruki Murakami

An added bonus is that whenever I finish your work, I get to play this bingo! Now, where does , figure into this.
I have reviewed other books by Haruki Murakami
