Shawn Mooney (Shawn Breathes Books)'s Reviews > Sputnik Sweetheart

With the quasi-exception of 1Q84, I haven't cared for any Murakami novels since Kafka on the Shore came out. The solution: read the backlist. A young Japanese woman trapped high on a Ferris wheel all night watches herself have sex in her apartment a few blocks away. What more do you need to know? Years later she disappears from the story. I disappeared into it. No one may hear from either of us ever again.
