Overall, Pinball, 1973 is a good read, if a bit unresolved feeling. Compared to [b:Hear the Wind Sing|226973|Hear the Wind Sing|Haruki Murakami|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1209948233s/226973.jpg|2902423], this book is probably the worse of the two because it lacks the feeling of purposeful directionlessness that made [b:Hear the Wind Sing|226973|Hear the Wind Sing|Haruki Murakami|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1209948233s/226973.jpg|2902423] so great without any added sense of narrative completion in exchange. Not that an incomplete narrative is necessarily a bad thing, nor the feeling of wanting to know more about the story. In fact these are often good things. However, Pinball, 1973 simply doesn't seem like a fully realized vision. It leaves you wanting more because it sets up a wonderful world for the story to take place in, but in the end the story doesn't stretch far enough to fit its world. Still, it might be worth the read if you're interested.

Pengantar ke cerita pencarian pinball ini yang bikin aku bingung. Jadi ada cerita di awal kalo tokoh 'aku' ini suka nanya sama orang asing di mana mereka dilahirkan. Yang buat bingung adalah tokoh 'aku' ini ngobrol sama orang dari Saturnus dan Venus. Aku ga tau apa maksudnya. Terus di pengantarnya juga dceritain kalo tokoh 'aku' ini ga bisa ngelupain Naoko, salah satu mantannya yang mati bunuh diri. Naoko menceritakan di mana dia tinggal dan ada cerita tentang penggali sumur juga yang setelah aku cari tahu ada hubungannya sama buku Murakami yang lain.
Aku baca ini karena penasaran aja sih sama lanjutan cerita tokoh 'aku' di buku Dengarlah Nyanyian Angin. Dan setelah baca jadi makin banyak hal yang buat aku bingung dan makin penasaran sama akhirnya. Kita lihat saja nanti aku bakal lanjutin bacanya atau engga soalnya masih ada dua buku lanjutannya. Tapi penasaran sih sama lanjutan ceritanya.

This is Murakami's second book and it's starting to establish his matter-of-fact perspective.
An incident hardly more momentous than a clothesline in the rain.
