Adhering to the national tradition of Chinese novel, The True Story of Ah Q composes the whole content in form of biography. Closely around the protagonist Ah Q, the book takes the activities of Ah Q as its only clue to develop the plots and write out his short and tragic life. The novel contains 9 chapters and every three form a part. The first three tells Ah Q's class and economic status, depicting his characters centered by psychology victory; the middle part tells the oppression and exploitation he suffered, further describing his character in order to present his situation and release the contradiction of the era; the last part tells his changes in characters and tragic destiny when the revolution comes.

1Q84 follows the events in the lives of two main characters as they navigate their way through a slightly altered and dystopic Japan of 1984. Typical of Murakami are the unexpected twists, turns and interconnections of the plot.

Q: What is this book about? A: Well, that’s difficult to say. I haven’t read it yet—I’ve just picked it up and casually glanced at the back cover. There clearly isn’t a plot. I’ve heard there’s a lot of stuff about time travel in this book, and quite a bit about violence and Garth Brooks and why Germans don’t laugh when they’re inside grocery stores. Ralph Nader and Ralph Sampson play significant roles. I think there are several pages about Rear Window and college football and Mad Men and why Rivers Cuomo prefers having sex with Asian women. Supposedly there’s a chapter outlining all the things the Unabomber was right about, but perhaps I’m misinformed. Q: Is there a larger theme? A: Oh, something about reality. "What is reality," maybe? No, that’s not it. Not exactly. I get the sense that most of the core questions dwell on the way media perception constructs a fake reality that ends up becoming more meaningful than whatever actually happened. Also, Lady Gaga. Q: Should I read this book? A: Probably. Do you see a clear relationship between the Branch Davidian disaster and the recording of Nirvana’s In Utero? Does Barack Obama make you want to drink Pepsi? Does ABBA remind you of AC/DC? If so, you probably don’t need to read this book. You probably wrote this book. But I suspect everybody else will totally love it, except for the ones who totally hate it.
