Dance Dance Dance
By Haruki Murakami
Harry Hartog's review
Hey, you! Yeah, you, looking at the Murakami books, I see you! Trying to figure out which of his works to take on next? Dance Dance Dance is quintessential Murakami - everything about his writing that you love, the strange side characters, the esoteric spaces, the unexplainable experiences, they're all dialled up to eleven in this wonderfully bizarre novel. It's easiest to understand if you've read The Rat trilogy (Wind/Pinball + A Wild Sheep Chase), but by no means necessary to love it! - Seb, Harry Hartog Burnside
Description
An assault on the senses, part murder mystery, part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car.
*PRE-ORDER HARUKI MURAKAMI'S NEW NOVEL, THE CITY AND ITS UNCERTAIN WALLS, NOW*
An assault on the senses, part murder mystery, part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car.
High-class call girls billed to Mastercard. A psychic 13-year-old dropout with a passion for Talking Heads. A hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers. A one-armed beach-combing poet, an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem.
Combine this offbeat cast of characters with Murakami's idiosyncratic prose and out comes Dance Dance Dance.
'If Raymond Chandler had lived long enough to see Blade Runner, he might have written something like Dance Dance Dance' Observer
