内容简介
· · · · · ·
Twenty two year old, Sumire is in love for the first time with a woman seventeen years her senior. But, whereas Miu is a glamorous and successful older woman with a taste for classical music and fine wine, Sumire is an aspiring writer who dresses in an oversized second hand coat and heavy boots like a character in a Jack Kerouac novel. Surprised that she might, after all, be a lesbian, Sumire spends hours on the phone talking to her best friend, K about the big questions in life: what is sexual desire and should she ever tell Miu how she feels about her? K, a primary school teacher, is used to answering questions, but what he most wants to say to Sumire is “I love you.” He consoles himself by having an affair with the mother of one of his pupils. But, when a desperate Miu calls him out of the blue from a sunny Greek island and asks for his help, he soon discovers that all is not as it seems and something very strange has happened to Sumire.
作者简介
· · · · · ·
村上春树（1949－ ），日本小说家。曾在早稻田大学文学部戏剧科就读。1979年，他的第一部小说《听风之歌》问世后，即被搬上了银幕。随后，他的优秀作品《1973年的弹子球》、《寻羊冒险记》、《挪威的森林》等相继发表。他的创作不受传统拘束，构思新奇，行文潇洒自在，而又不流于庸俗浅薄。尤其是在刻画人的孤独无奈方面更有特色，他没有把这种情绪写成负的东西，而是通过内心的心智性操作使之升华为一种优雅的格调，一种乐在其中的境界，以此来为读者，尤其是生活在城市里的人们提供了一种生活模式或生命的体验。
评论 ······
孤独啊，看得我百感交集。多年后读英文版，感觉更像我想象中的村上。“Understanding is but the sum of our misunderstanding.”可能是代表全书的重要句子，但如何理解”人与人是否可以产生联结“，依旧是读者自己的事。至少无论是高中还是现在，我都很能对村上的情感描写产生共鸣（他写女子间情感也真的很有一手啊）。Sputnik也依然是我至爱的村上小说之一。
“And I started to feel that being all alone is a terribly lonely thing.”
第一次看村上作品的英文版，行文非常简练，阅读体验极好（主要指很少碰到生词。。。）至于内容，很多东西还都是村上常写的那些，这一侧/那一侧，人的分裂之类的。不同的是，这本写到了蕾丝。。。还有希腊。。。看完好像去希腊～
This story started with companionship, two intimate friends and an adored mystical lady. Then the relationships became lonely. A man who loved a lesbian, who in turn loved a woman with no sexual desir…
