«Baila, baila, baila» is the novel by Haruki Murakami published by Maxi-Tusquets in 2013 in paperback (464 pages, in Spanish).
In March 1983, a freelance copywriter travels to Sapporo to stay at the Hotel Delfín, where years earlier he spent a week with a woman who mysteriously disappeared. On arrival he discovers the hotel has been demolished and in its place stands another, modern and luxurious; his stay there brings him into contact with characters wrapped in an aura of unreality: a receptionist with implausible experiences, a highly sensitive teenager, and a former schoolmate, now a successful actor, who will get him into serious trouble. Murders, trips to Hawaii, passages to other worlds and parties follow one another to the rhythm of the music playing on the radio of his battered Subaru. Everything is connected: you only return to the Hotel Delfín to be able to start again.
It is the fourth instalment in the Rat series, preceded in Spanish by Escucha la canción del viento, Pinball 1973 and La caza del carnero salvaje. Translation by Gabriel Álvarez Martínez.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Japanese literature looking for a mystery story with surrealist and musical touches.
