Murakami Haruki (Japanese: 村上 春樹) is a popular contemporary Japanese writer and translator. It is 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.
"Dance Dance Dance" - High-class call girls billed to Mastercard a psychic thirteen-year-old drop-out 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". Add a girl whose ears are so exquisite that, when uncovered, they improve sex a thousand-fold, a runaway friend, a right-wing politico, an ovine-obsessed professor and a manic-depressive in a sheep outfit, implicate them in a hunt for a sheep, that may or may not be running the world, and the upshot is another singular masterpiece from Haruki Murakami. But an ordinary life has a way of taking an extraordinary turn. "A Wild Sheep Chase" - His life was like his recurring nightmare: a train to nowhere.
