'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. gebundene Ausgabe, 01.10.2011.

Neuware - 1984. Aomame hat zwei verschieden große Ohren. Beim Rendezvous mit einem reichen Ölhändler zückt sie eine Nadel und ersticht ihn - ein Auftragsmord, um altes Unrecht zu sühnen. Tengo ist Hobby-Schriftsteller. Er soll einen Roman der exzentrischen 17-jährigen Fukaeri überarbeiten, damit sie einen Literaturpreis bekommt. Der Text ist äußerst originell, aber schlecht geschrieben - ein riskanter Auftrag. Aomame wundert sich, warum die Nachrichten ihren Mord nicht melden. Ist sie in eine Parallelwelt geraten Um diese Sphäre vom gewöhnlichen Leben im Jahr 1984 zu unterscheiden, gibt Aomame der neuen, unheimlichen Welt den Namen 1Q84.
