Haruki Murakami

1Q84 was Grinwout's first exposure to Murakami. It's a multi-narrative novel in which time shifts from the contemporary year 1984 to the year 1Q84, and unusual things ensue, including the sudden appearance of a second moon. It's a book unlike any in our previous experience; we followed up with Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. It's a dual narrative this time out, from the same narrator in different, inner realities.

Intriguing stuff.

If you start to dabble in Murakami, you can't help but want to know more. This BBC program is intriguing on its own, and quite representative. (Via)
