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.

評分 評分 評分##大霧彌漫 清晰殘損的麵目
評分##the story is about a middle-aged man having an extramarital affair with another woman, i would call it a tale.
評分##看到瞭虛實兩個島本:一個是十二歲時握“我”的手握瞭十秒的島本,一個是“我”二十八歲時在東京街頭緊隨不捨的穿紅色風衣的仿佛島本的島本;一個是在箱根彆墅同“我”長時間實實在在交閤的島本,一個是翌日清晨在枕頭上留下腦形凹坑而蹤影皆無的島本。一個是此側現實世界中的島本,一個是“國境以南太陽以西”的島本。而我就隨著兩個島本往來並迷失於現實和虛幻之間。其中有兩個典型的細節。一個是那個迷一樣的男人為瞭阻止他尾隨島本而給他的裝有十萬日元的信封後來從抽屜裏不翼而飛;另一個是島本送給他的那張舊唱片隨著島本從箱根彆墅的消失而無從找見。使得他無法融入現實,感覺上就好像被孤零零地拋到沒有生命跡象的乾裂的大地,紛至遝來的幻影將周圍所有色彩吮盡吸乾。對自己本身和自己置身其間的高度發達的資本主義社會産生虛幻感。
評分##湯姆蘇直男癌的YY之作,順風順水男人放著老婆不愛,遇到妖艷初戀便要拋棄整個世界,初戀也愛他若生命(還美味地吞下他所有液體,大男子主義YY極緻),關鍵時刻卻無聲息消失、不打擾他生活。前麵剛剛說著與太太初見時,一分彆便像是落入瞭無止境的孤獨中無法存活,後來遇到(得不到的)初戀卻秒變飢渴直男,曾經跟其他女人包括太太的感情就都不是真愛瞭,還一臉無辜地錶示:“這是偉大的初戀、錯過的真實自我,我有什麼辦法呢?而且我們獨生子女,有無法抹去的生命中的孤獨和靈魂的吸引。”我呸,那你來瞭中國豈不是天天神魂顛倒,幾億人都是你的靈魂伴侶?這麼多年我自詡人渣,自以為很灑脫驕傲,纔發現其實我根本不是個渣,而世上太多人都打著太多算盤,這個心懷鬼胎的邪惡世界,令人好想避世。
評分##Shimamoto, Izumi, Yukiko是同一個女性的不同命運,她們與主人公的愛恨糾葛充滿瞭深層的無可奈何。現代社會中愛情猶如在一片沙漠中徒勞努力,毀滅與幸福隻存在於瞬間。
