1Q84 - Book Three

Today I finished reading the third part of Haruki Murakami's 1Q84. It was published almost a year after the first two parts, I remember people anticipating it when it was about to come out in Korea. The third part introduces a third perspective, namely Ushikawa, the man with the misshapen head. The author's way of describing things - often with metaphors and similies or comparisons - is much to my liking. At some points I wonder how the translator, Philip Gabriel, made his decisions. Anyway, I enjoyed the story and the writing. Give it a try.
