About this listen

Combine an offbeat cast of characters with Murakami's idiosyncratic prose, and the result is the remarkable story Dance Dance Dance: high-class call girls billed to MasterCard, a psychic 13-year-old dropout has a passion for talking heads, and meet a hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers.

Don’t forget the one-armed beach-combing poet, an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem.

Critic reviews

"Brilliantly combines elements of the surreal, film noir and existentialist enquiry." ( Sunday Times)
"There are echoes of Raymond Chandler, John Irving and Raymond Carver, but Mr. Murakami's mysterious plots and original characters are very much his own creation." ( New York Times)

If you like Murakami then there is no reason you won't love this, he doesn't leave things so open ended as he can be know for and he's characters are as always believable, flawed, and wonderful. Rupert Degas is probably the best narrated I've listened too. He's ability to bring quite surreal and often difficult characters and places to life is only surpassed by Murakami's ability to create them.

Haruki Murakami at his best!

Great characters and plot however it's all a load of nonsense in the end. Was it a dream?

Great in parts, but pointless

what to say?
such a great story. I may listen again it's that good. it was as good as Kafka on the shore to me.

loved it

I have given up on this performance for now I am not keen on the narration. I will try again. So don't take this review too seriously as it would be unfair to base a review on only a partly listed to audiobook.

A lover of Murakami I struggled with the narration

A story as good as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles. I want David Lynch to turn it into a movie…
