A deluxe boxed set edition of Haruki Murakamis bestselling masterpiece, featuring the full novel split across three gorgeously designed paperback editions in a see-through case, with a removeable sticker on the shrink wrap packagingBrilliant . . . an irresistibly engaging literary fantasy.-The Washington PostThe year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi drivers 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 Aomames and Tengos 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 Orwells-1Q84 is a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.
