Pinball, 1973 written by Haruki Murakami performed by Kirby Heyborne on Audio CD (Unabridged)

Three years after Hear the Wind Sing, in 1973, the narrator has moved to Tokyo to work as a translator and live with indistinguishable twin girls, but the Rat has remained behind, despite his efforts to leave both the town and his girlfriend. The narrator finds himself haunted by memories of his own doomed relationship but...

also, more bizarrely, by his short-lived obsession with playing pinball in J's Bar.

This sends him on a quest to find the exact model of pinball machine he had enjoyed playing years earlier: the three-flipper Spaceship.
