Haruki Murakami’s ’1Q84′: The first words

Jacket Copy – “Haruki Murakami has some obsessive fans who’d do anything to get their hands on his next book. When his novel “1Q84″ was released in Japan in 2009, it was under a closely held embargo. The book is slated for U.S. release Oct. 24. Because it’s already out there, any hard-core English-speaking Murakami fan could go to an online translator, or better yet, a Japanese friend, to get a peek at what’s inside. But they wouldn’t have the actual official translation.”

Can’t!  Wait!
