Dance, Dance, Dance

First published in Japanese in 1988 as ダンス・ダンス・ダンス (Dansu Dansu Dansu)

Translated into English by Alfred Birnbaum in 1994

Dance, Dance, Dance is a sequel to A Wild Sheep Chase and thus is an extra installment to the Trilogy of the Rat (which includes Pinball 1974, Hear the Wind Sing and A Wild Sheep Chase).

“…..Dance, Dance, Dance really brings to a fine point Murakami’s attack on late-model capitalism, which fuels and drives forward the “Japan, Inc.”model. Later novels deal with different collective narratives, but most have something to do with control over the ability or right or simply willingness of the individual to continue developing his or her own inner narrative.” —Carl Mathew Strecher, The Forbidden Worlds of Hauki Murakami.
