PINBALL, 1973: This story is about me, but it's also about Rat. It's about a pair of indistinguishable twin girls. It's about a quest, a brief love affair, and the three-flipper Spaceship pinball machine.
Pinball, 1973 is Murakami's second novel, available for the first time in English outside Japan. With a new introduction by the author.
Pinball, 1973 picks up three years after the events of Murakami's debut novel, Hear the Wind Sing. The narrator has moved to Tokyo to work as a translator and live with indistinguishable twin girls, but the Rat has remained behind, despite his efforts to leave both the town and his girlfriend. The narrator finds himself haunted by memories of his own doomed relationship but also, more bizarrely, by his short-lived obsession with playing pinball in J's Bar. This sends him on a quest to find the exact model of pinball machine he had enjoyed playing years earlier: the three-flipper Spaceship.
Rezension:
Murakami fans will no doubt delight in this new publication. For newcomers, these early works are an excellent introduction to a writer who has since become one of the most influential novelists of his generation Hannah Beckerman Observer
