1Q84 Book Two

Description

Two moons… two worlds… a girl… a boy… a love story…

An atmosphere of magic and fantasy, a journey of self-discovery, a tale of two parallel existences, and an imaginary world that rivals that of George Orwell… Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 is his most ambitious novel to date, a profoundly moving, captivating, and thoroughly enjoyable read.

It is a masterpiece, an experience brimming with intelligence, excitement, and suspense. It caused a sensation in Japan upon its release, selling out its first printing in a single day and reaching one million copies sold in its first month.

* * * “If this novel is like a funhouse, it’s one of those funhouses steeped in seriousness, where, once you enter, you risk your convictions.” (Newsweek)

“A great novel that fulfills the primary function of literature: to reimagine and reshape the world through imagination… At the heart of 1Q84 lies the question of love, how we find it, and how we hold onto it.” (Los Angeles Times)

“Oomame and Tengo move toward each other like divers making their way to the surface. When I finished 1Q84, I felt as if I, too, was rising to the surface; and even days after reading it, the world still didn’t seem the same.”
