“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.

评分##前一半很engaging后劲不足看到最后快没力finish了
评分##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##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##A warm love story.

评分##村上春树本来就不是什么大词汇量的作家,这本大部分还都是你情我爱,我觉得通读过一遍后,再看英文版,还是比较好掌握的~美国人容易把1Q84当成日本盗梦空间,其实俺中国有更确切的比喻:牛郎织女。
