Dance Dance Dance

A Novel

De: Haruki Murakami, Alfred Birnbaum - translator

Narrado por: Josh Bloomberg

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.

Absolutely wonderful as usual

The usual completely fantastic Murakami perfection. Murakami again did not disappoint me, effortlessly transported me to a world I could never have imagined. Thank you Haruki!

Worth it for Murakami fans

This may not be his singular work of genius but it’s definitely Murakami doing his thing. I’m a big fan of his abs this was definitely engaging and interesting. The narrator was overall very solid.

Wonderful performance and a Murakami story

Murakami is not for everyone, it almost feels to me that you’ll have to get aquatint first before you feel comfortable in the story. Listening to it is a very different experience from reading it. I just love Murakami everything because I relate a lot, but again it’s not for everyone. Since it’s included in the membership, give it try and see if it’s for you.

The narrator is perfect

This guy should narrate all of Murakami's books. He captured the mood so well. Overall, another great story from Murakami

When Wisdom is couple of Weirdness

There’s some real gems of prose littered around the book.

There’s always something alluring listening to the story unfold. It feels simple but even boring takes on some magic. But then it really gets surreal and in those moments, it’s too easy to try and read too much into things.

What’s amazing is that a book written in Japanese about life in Japan, is able to speak across languages to so many people, as we all seem to be living this shared modern life.
