HARUKI MURAKAMI - GEBRAUCHT 1Q84 (VINTAGE INTER...

"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.
