![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In its bones, this novel is a thriller * Daily Telegraph * It is a work of maddening brilliance and gripping originality, deceptively casual in style, but vibrating with wit, intellect and ambition - Richard Lloyd Parry * The Times * Which other author can remind you simultaneously of Fyodor Dostoyevsky and JK Rowling, not merely within the same chapter but on the same page? Viewed through the "post-modern" lens, his exemplary blend of a light touch and weighty themes, of high literature and popular entertainment, ticks every box. So like Murakami himself, I'll borrow from Orwell: 1Q84 is quite simply doubleplusgood * Independent on Sunday * 1Q84 reads like a cross between Stieg Larsson and Roberto Bolano. It is his most achieved novel an epic in which form and content are neatly aligned. Murakami's magnum opus * Japan Times * 1Q84 has a range and sophistication that surpasses anything else in his oeuvre. ![]()
