![]() ![]() All these (and more - but avoiding spoilers) woven into a compelling narrative. Several familiar themes appear - a nameless first-person narrating protagonist who is a divorced man in his 30s, a precocious teenaged-girl, beautiful but mysterious women, intense darkness, trans-muralisation - oh and a dead cat makes a brief appearance too. Murakami's genius is to make the extraordinary seem commonplace. If you've enjoyed any of Murakami's other books, Dance Dance Dance will not disappoint, and if you haven't read/listened to any of his other books, this is as good a place to start as any. Each character is distinctly voiced and immediately recognised whenever they appear. Rupert Degas' voice acting is superb, and frankly with the number of speaking characters in a Murakami book, anything less than superb would not deliver the convincing portrayals that Mr Degas does. ![]() What about Rupert Degas’s performance did you like? Brilliant - a Murakami 'Masterpiece of weirdness' ![]()
