It seems as if the girl is calling him from somewhere beyond. But now he cannot get the girl out of his mind. In fact, he knew almost nothing about her. Part of the reason for that was an extended stay with a call girl named whose name he did not know. The hotel was a dive but the man cannot seem to get it out of his mind. The story begins with an unnamed protagonist thinking about his stay at the Dolphin Hotel in Sapporo, Japan.
In the spring, he decided that it was time to return to society. There was some contact from the outside, including letters from his former business partner and his ex-wife - letters that had gone unanswered. The result was a six-month stint in his apartment during which he did not go out during the day. He had fallen into a deep depression after getting a divorce and having a friend die mysteriously. Although the writer managed to pull himself out of the abyss, there is still a sense of abandonment from his wife and loss of former business, friendships, and romantic relationships. He has suffered from depression and on one occasion, it was so severe that he became a recluse for six months. Like most people his age, the man has had his share of pitfalls. He is 34 years old, divorced, and working as a freelance writer. It is unclear why the author chose to give the writer no name except perhaps to make him more identifiable as an "everyman." The man is fairly typical. Murakami introduces his protagonist, a writer without a name. It is a follow up to Murakami's book "The Wild Sheep Chase." "Dance Dance Dance" by Haruki Murakami is a work of fiction.
