À propos de cette écoute
The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.
A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's 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 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.
A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell's, 1Q84 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.
BONUS AUDIO: Audible interviews the translators of 1Q84, Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel.

button. If it's long (almost 47 hours) it never seems to be and once
finished you'll think: "What, already?" One precision : this recording in English includes all 3 books of the 1Q84 trilogy, as well as a very
interesting interview with the translators (Japanese to English). Now I
wish I'd speak Japanese to be able to read the original and understand
all the subtleties.
In book 1 and 2, chapters alternate between Tengo's and Aomame's
stories. In book 3 there's a third one added, Ushikawa. In the
beginning, you'll probably think there are two parallel stories told,
but as always in Murakami's novels they'll meet in the end. In addition
to different points of view, you'll float between two worlds: the real
world 1984 and the imaginary/parallel world 1Q84 (a tribute to George
Orwell). It's pretty hard to fit this book into a genre category. It's
as much a love story as a detective novel. It moves slowly, especially
during the first part, with many detailed descriptions: as well everyday scenes from the life of a NHK fees collector, as creepy ones of corpses, as deeply poetic ones with the two moons for instance and a couple of highly erotic scenes. But with the amount of questions you'll want to know the answer to, the vivid descriptions are not a problem at all.
Finally I'm taking my hat off to the narrators: all three of them were
pleasant to listen to and did an outstanding job !
One of the best Murakami novels!

I don't think I need so speak about the story since well, it's Murakami. That's all we need to know.
BEST AUDIO BOOK EVER

The story is very rich and filled with multiple layers. The characters are very well constructed and relatable. Even though, at times, it feels that everything fits together too perfectly, one never suspects the role and the place of any of the characters, even the ones that are on the sideline.
The book captures the reader in an avalanche of characters, emotions, intrigue and coincidences. Even though the book loses some of its momentum towards the third book, it’s still very captivating and exciting.
This book is definitely not an easy read but it is Murakami’s best works if not the best.
A superb audio book
