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. --\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her.

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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell's--\u003ci\u003e1Q84\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50397785948433,"sku":"CIN7544249867G","price":6.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50986280288529,"sku":"CIN7544249867VG","price":10.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51232601309457,"sku":"GOR004881552","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B004IK9G4Y.jpg?v=1751445556","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/1q84-book-3-book-haruki-murakami-9787544249867","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
