â‚¬Å“Murakami is like a magician who explains what heâ‚¬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.â‚¬Â â‚¬"The New York Times Book Review
Â
The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.

A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driverâ‚¬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 â‚¬"â‚¬Å“Q is for â‚¬Ëœquestion mark.â‚¬ A world that bears a question.â‚¬Â 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 Aomameâ‚¬s and Tengoâ‚¬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 Orwellâ‚¬sâ‚¬"1Q84 is Haruki Murakamiâ‚¬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.
