An assault on the senses,part murder mystery,part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car.High-class call girls billed to Mastercard. A psychic 13-year-old dropout with a passion for Talking Heads. A hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers. A one-armed beach-combing poet,an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem.Combine this offbeat cast of characters with Murakami's idiosyncratic prose and out comes Dance Dance Dance.'If Raymond Chandler had lived long enough to see Blade Runner,he might have written something like Dance Dance Dance'Observer

MEDIA REVIEWS
If Raymond Chandler had lived long enough to see Blade Runner,he might have written something like Dance Dance DanceAn entertaining mix of modern sci-fi,nail-biting suspense and ancient myth...a sometimes funny,sometimes sinister mystery spoof,but like all good postmodern fiction,it also aims at contemporary human concerns,philosophical as well as literaryAn entertaining adventure that takes us to the frozen north of Japan,to Hawaii and to the dark,damp corners of the imagination... Reading Dance Dance Dance is a bit like being taken blindfold on a joy-rideMr Murakami writes metaphysical Far Easterns with a Western beat...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 creationBrilliantly combines elements of the surreal,film noir and existentialist enquiry
