1Q84 - Book Three - Arab Cultural Center

Qamar... two worlds... girl... boy... a love story... an atmosphere of magic and fantasy, and a journey of self-discovery, and a story of two parallel existences, and a fictional world comparable to George Orwell's world... 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami is so far his most ambitious novel, a deeply impactful, captivating, and immensely enjoyable work. It is a unique masterpiece and an artistic achievement, an experience filled with intelligence, excitement, and suspense, which caused a big stir in Japan upon its publication, with its first edition selling out in one day, and one million copies sold in its first month. * * * "If this novel is like a house of fun, it is that fun taken to the utmost seriousness, and when you enter it, you risk losing your illusions." (Newsweek) "A great novel that fulfills the main function of literature: to redraw and reshape the world through imagination... At the heart of 1Q84 lies the question of love, how we find it and how we hold onto it." (Los Angeles Times) "Omaha and Tengu walk toward each other as if they are divers making their way to the surface. When I finished reading 1Q84, I felt as if I, too, was rising to the surface; even days after reading it, the world still did not seem the same to me."
