The back cover sums up the foundations of this story that takes us from the first lines in a world and in an atmosphere that belong only Haruki Murakami. Because of the way we think of Orwell and his anticipation Book 1984, but here the action takes place in the past. In two dimensions exactly as we move from an era: 1984 to another, 1Q84, which is that of questioning. But I make a clean sweep of any rational explanation to just tie me to the protagonists, childhood friends, who follow their own existence, as Aomamé hired killer and Tengo as negro for a publishing house. As in all the books of Murakami where the story and the supernatural are never far away, watermark it is about love, melancholy, music, history, not to mention sex, violence and religion, all sprinkled with a suspense flawless. Eaten in 2 days I attacked immediately book 2 to stay on the wave of the pleasure of reading a great author who delights us. It was not until next year to see more of this Japanese saga.
