![]() ![]() Harvill Secker said that, including ebooks and overseas sales, it had sold just over 400,000 copies of Murakami's epic 2011 romance 1Q84 Books One ,Two and Three. Murakami's UK publisher, Liz Foley at Harvill Secker, predicted the novel would " inspire a whole new raft of fans for his work".Īccording to the Bookseller, Murakami's previous novels – including Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the Shore and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle – have sold almost one-and-a-half million copies in the UK, with Norwegian Wood the most popular. "1Q84 was much more epic in scope, while Tsukuru Tazaki is more lapidary, more tightly focused on one person's journey," he said. It is, translator Gabriel told the Australian last year, "more tightly focused" than previous books by the author. Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage is the story of a man whose four best high school friends, Mr Red, Mr Blue, Miss White and Miss Black, ostracise him - he is colourless, because his name is the only one without a kanji symbol for a colour. ![]()
