Professional Reviews

| : |
Poole, Steven, Literary Review: "[Murakami's] gift is to articulate and interrogate a peculiarly contemporary sense of melancholy. With stripped-down literary techniques and an almost weightless style, he imbues everyday anomie and longing with a uniquely modern poetry.", Zalewski, Daniel, New York Times Book Review: "...Murakami has an unmatched gift for turning psychological metaphors into uncanny narratives....In Murakami's books, the quiet rumblings in the back of our minds are allowed to erupt; his stories delicately track the lava flow....SPUTNIK SWEETHEART...offers an elegant distillation of Murakami's cool surrealism." |
