具体描述
In South of the Border, West of the Sun , the simple arc of a man's life--with its attendant rhythms of success and disappointment--becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Haruki Murakami's most haunting work.
Born in 1951 in an affluent Tokyo suburb, Hajime-- beginning in Japanese--has arrived at middle age wanting for almost nothing. The postwar years have brought him a fine marriage, two daughters, and an enviable career as the proprietor of two jazz clubs. Yet a nagging sense of inauthenticity about his success threatens Hajime's happiness. And a boyhood memory of a wise, lonely girl named Shimamoto clouds his heart.
When Shimamoto shows up one rainy night, now a breathtaking beauty with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajime's quotidian existence begin to give way. And the details of stolen moments past and present--a Nat King Cole melody, a face pressed against a window, a handful of ashes drifting downriver to the sea--threaten to undo him completely. Rich, mysterious, quietly dazzling, South of the Border, West of the Sun is Haruki Murakami's wisest and most compelling fiction.
用户评价
##看到了虚实两个岛本：一个是十二岁时握“我”的手握了十秒的岛本，一个是“我”二十八岁时在东京街头紧随不舍的穿红色风衣的仿佛岛本的岛本；一个是在箱根别墅同“我”长时间实实在在交合的岛本，一个是翌日清晨在枕头上留下脑形凹坑而踪影皆无的岛本。一个是此侧现实世界中的岛本，一个是“国境以南太阳以西”的岛本。而我就随着两个岛本往来并迷失于现实和虚幻之间。其中有两个典型的细节。一个是那个迷一样的男人为了阻止他尾随岛本而给他的装有十万日元的信封后来从抽屉里不翼而飞；另一个是岛本送给他的那张旧唱片随着岛本从箱根别墅的消失而无从找见。使得他无法融入现实，感觉上就好像被孤零零地抛到没有生命迹象的干裂的大地，纷至沓来的幻影将周围所有色彩吮尽吸干。对自己本身和自己置身其间的高度发达的资本主义社会产生虚幻感。
