1Q84

[Mark Kohut]

i found it page-turning and full of thematic richness. The overarching question to me is
the historical one: what does the alternative 1984 mean? to the present vs. the Present.
Very Iceland Spar-like to me, that is, how different is the historical light? What does it show?

Appreciate hearing other feedback. Inclined to agree with both comments. This was my first Murakami book. I actually tend to read about 2/3rds non-fiction.
