![]() ![]() ![]() "I'll come right out and say it: I don't really know what Murakami's startling new novel is about.It is a beautiful novel, as light as a feather, and yet enduringly sad." - Jenny Turner, Evening Standard (.) It's about love and the loss of love, vocation and the loss of vocation, sexual desire and the loss of that as well. "Like all Murakami's novels, Sputnik Sweetheart has a dreamlike logic to it, and an irreducible strangeness."As the telling spins and shifts through fantasies and dreamscapes, Sputnik Sweetheart reveals itself as a lyrical tale about the surreal orbits of desire." - Troy Patterson, Entertainment Weekly. ![]() " Sputnik Sweetheart, his latest offering to appear in English, though slighter than some of its predecessors, quickly draws you in and holds you there." - The Economist.Alas, it also runs the same risk of appearing slight the moment one abandons the effort of caring." - Patrick Gale, Daily Telegraph " Sputnik Sweetheart is a little like an Eric Rohmer film, in that everybody talks incessantly and not always cogently, but their babble matters less than the deeper feelings and human truths it betrays.Most opinions quite favourable, but a lot of uncertainty about the book.
