“Murakami is like a magician who explains what he’s doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers . . . But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves.” — The New York Times Book Review
The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.
A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver’s enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 —“Q is for ‘question mark.’ A world that bears a question.” Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled.
As Aomame’s and Tengo’s narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector.
A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell’s— 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami’s most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.
##Still confused by the symbolism behind all kinds of things, characters, events, the story itself is amazing, drowning & mesmerizing, as all Haruki's works, but this one gets me more: the complexity of the story, the variety and the richness of characters, and all the details in the narrative are greatly improved or should I say much more matured.
评分##這個星期為止寫了4篇essays以及啃了這一套3本的“1Q84.” 結論是,無論是我那double-face instructor還是書,兩個字點評--坑爹!開篇嘩眾取寵,讀到第三本時已經趕腳掰不下去在湊字數。另外,我不知道這本所謂的村上巔峰力作想要表達甚麼。
评分##蛤蛤蛤。蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤。我停在book 2不就好了吗。干嘛要逼着自己看完。蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤。_ノ乙(、ン、)_
评分##Tengo.
评分##The book is so uncomfortably written that it is painful to read. Above everything, it is long, unnecessarily repetitive and unbearably boring. As much as I hate to say this, not a single thing touches me in this book.
评分越读越觉得小说对作者的意义大于读者,就像村上跑马拉松,兴致再高的观者也会不时厌倦,对于跑者却如生命本身,意义非凡。英文版语言相当平易。
