1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.. Murakami has been stirring magic, fantasy, good story telling and popular culture for a while now, and this one is a doozy. No, it’s not Nabakov, but it’s big enough to keep a door propped open, and blow your mind. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"At age 62, three decades into his career, Murakami has established himself as the unofficial laureate of Japan — arguably its chief imaginative ambassador, in any medium, to the world: the primary source, for many millions of readers, of the texture and shape of his native country." – The New York Times "Two weeks ago, Haruki Murakami was widely rumored to be among the front-runners for the Nobel Prize in Literature. He didn’t win — this year. But Murakami is clearly one of the most popular and admired novelists in the world today, a brilliant practitioner of serious, yet irresistibly engaging, literary fantasy." – The Washington Post |
