Publisher's Summary

In this propulsive novel, one of the most idiosyncratically brilliant writers at work in any language fuses science fiction, the hard-boiled thriller, and white-hot satire into a new element of the literary periodic table.

As he searches for a mysteriously vanished girlfriend, Haruki Murakami's protagonist plunges into a wind tunnel of sexual violence and metaphysical dread in which he collides with call girls, plays chaperone to a lovely teenaged psychic, and receives cryptic instructions from a shabby but oracular Sheep Man.

Dance Dance Dance is a tense, poignant, and often hilarious ride through the cultural Cuisinart that is contemporary Japan, a place where everything that is not up for sale is up for grabs.

Surprisingly One Dimensional

I wanted to like this, but instead I encountered so many tired tropes and cartoonish characters (especially the female ones), that I have to feel downright embarrassed on behalf of the type of men who would dig this. As for the women who would, I feel concern. The sparse metaphysical breadcrumbs are intriguing, however, and should have been expanded. Note to author: One does not "buy" a sex worker, nor does one rent one. They are "hired". This revealing oversight is too common, but in this case, could be the fault of the translator.
