I could see them being awkward to others - like how I get tripped up when I start a science-fiction novel and people have weird names that all sound the same.įirst, I want to talk about the actual cover art. I think it helped that I’m familiar with the Japanese language none of the cultural context or names were awkward to me. I’d never read a Murakami piece before (though now, I will probably seek out The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles) so I was green to his style of writing. I approached the novel after learning the vague premise, that other people whose opinions I respect loved it, and that the cover art was beautiful. I can’t say that I loved it, but I did enjoy it. It took a month of reading a few chapters here and there, before bed, to finish Murakami’s 1Q84.
