1Q84不是1984,但在日语的发音就是1984,因为9在日语的发音是Kyu。村上也在卷首说了,1Q84就是为了向乔治*奥威尔的《1984》的致敬。与1984结缘,源于在日本见过的网站1984 bbs,这个网站很小众,加入的人不超过1万人,而且需要邀请码。后来因为某种原因,网站解散了。但从此之后,我了解到了《1984》,也明白了现实中的真实预言。奥威尔的伟大在于他在20世纪30年代就看透了极权主义的本质,而且预测了前苏联的崩溃。1984对于我们的现实意义,是源于它是一个精神符号,它可以带来我们对
现状的深刻思考,而且会自然不自然地将现实与预言相比照,去验证预言的准确性。村上作为日本最著名的作家之一,仍然向1984致敬,足以见1984的精神意义的庞大,已经成为自由主义的图腾。
1Q84的最终回,天吾与青豆的爱情故事,小小人与空气蛹,奥姆真理教与日本赤军运动,都将一一解开神秘的面纱。在相对的1Q84空间里,蕴涵着生命的意义和爱情的真谛。村上的文字,犹如一首优美的夜曲,拨动着不同人的心弦。每个人心中的1Q84又怎会相同?
正如狄更斯在双城记里所记载的“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. "
这是最好的时代,也是最坏的时代……
