New Murakami novel, “1Q84,” selling like hotcakes

by Eric Franklin on June 10, 2009

The new Murakami 2-volume novel is selling fast enough to set records for the publisher in Japan. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait to see this one in the US?

The publisher and Murakami, who rarely gives media interviews, kept a veil over “1Q84,” which can be read as “1984″ in Japanese, after many readers asked not be told about the plot before reading the novel.
