A marvelous hybrid of mythology and mystery, A Wild Sheep Chase is the extraordinary literary thriller that launched Haruki Murakami’s international reputation.
It begins simply enough: A twenty-something advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company’s advertisement. What he doesn’t realize is that included in the pastoral scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man in black who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences. Thus begins a surreal and elaborate quest that takes our hero from the urban haunts of Tokyo to the remote and snowy mountains of northern Japan, where he confronts not only the mythological sheep, but the confines of tradition and the demons deep within himself. Quirky and utterly captivating, A Wild Sheep Chase is Murakami at his astounding best.

村上风格确立之作，之后没有真正意义上的突破，虽然笔法没有后来娴熟

Reading Haruki Murakami in English is a very different textual experience. It still made me cry, though.

#30 重读之后，更喜欢寻羊了，像是鼠鼠退场，然后羊男接棒。经过听风+弹子球以及前半本小说的“热身”之后，我们终于进入了村上春树的超现实世界。

村上的作品里永远充满了各种隐喻。而在他早年的作品，这些隐喻则更加显眼，体积感存在感更加巨大。羊到底是什么就和故事里关于羊的线索一样，其实挺明显了。然后荒诞的故事需要一个魔幻的结局。结局部分的几次会面和对话其实写得相当精彩大气。。。很好奇，高潮那么有分量假如拍成电影那么容易拍出效果的一个故事竟然从来没被翻拍成过电影，其实是有点让人感到意外的。。。
