At the close of Book Two of 1Q84, Aomame and Tengo found themselves in perilous situations, threatened and confused. As 1Q84 accelerates towards its conclusion, both are pursued by persons and forces they cannot understand. Inspired by George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four," 1Q84 is a magnificent and fully imagined work of fiction - both a thriller and a moving love story. It is a world from which the reader emerges stunned and altered.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'"1Q84" is a dystopian novel written by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, first published in three volumes in Japan in 2009-10. It covers a fictionalized year of 1984 in parallel with a "real" one. The novel is a story of how a woman named Aomame begins to notice strange changes occurring in the world. She is quickly enraptured in a plot involving Sakigake, a religious cult, her childhood love, Tengo, and embarks on a journey to discover what is "real". Its first printing sold out on the day it was released and sales reached a million within a month. The English-language edition of all three volumes, with the first two volumes translated by Jay Rubin and the third by Philip Gabriel, was released in North America and the United Kingdom on October 25, 2011.

Here he meets a girl, Shimamoto, who is also an only child and suffers from polio, which causes her to drag her leg as she walks. They spend most of their time together talking about their interests in life and listening to records on Shimamoto's stereo. Eventually, they join different high schools and grow apart. They are reunited again at the age of 36, Hajime now the father of two children and owner of two successful jazz bars in Aoyama, the trendy part of Tokyo. With Shimamoto never giving any detail as to her own life and appearing only at random intervals, she haunts him as a constant "What if".

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. First American edition. SIGNED. 213pp. Duodecimo [19.5 cm] Black paper over boards with a metallic-pink stamped title on the backstrip and a circular printed title label on the front board. With a very minor lean to the spine and light soiling to the label on the front board. No dust jacket. Signed by Haruki Murakami on the front flyleaf. A often dreamlike novel which recounts the story of Hajime ("Beginning") from his childhood as an only child in a small town in Japan to his adulthood in Tokyo. From the publisher- "Hajime has arrived at middle age with a loving family and an enviable career, yet he feels incomplete. When a childhood friend, now a beautiful woman, shows up with a secret from which she is unable to escape, the fault lines of doubt in Hajime's quotidian existence begin to give way. Rich, mysterious, and quietly dazzling, in South of the Border, West of the Sun the simple arc of one man's life becomes the exquisite literary terrain of Murakami's remarkable genius.".
