Book Two of 1Q84 ended with Aomame standing on the Metropolitan Expressway with a gun between her lips. She knows she is being hunted, and that she has put herself in terrible danger in order to save
The year is 1Q84.This is the real world, there is no doubt about that. But in this world, there are two moons in the sky. In this world, the fates of two people, Tengo and Aomame, are closely intertwined. They are each, in their own way, doing something very dangerous. And in this world, there seems no way to save them both. Something extraordinary is starting.Shortlisted for the 2013 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
LPA ＝ Little People Architects細漢的（台語）、小人（物）建築家立派（りっぱ／Li Pa）日文的意思是「已成長的、邁向成熟的、有能力的、了不起的」Little People Architects（簡稱LPA）於2009年由作者謝宗哲所發起，集結了一群熱愛建築創作的好友，成員包括王喆、方瑋、方新樵、林建華、哈塔、翁廷楷、陳冠帆、彭文苑、楊秀川⋯⋯本書記錄他們從初出茅廬邁向能獨當一面的「立派」建築家，並精選這十多年來的各自作品，以創作自述、設計圖面與攝影的方式完整呈現。LPA概念援引自村上春樹小說《1Q84》的「Little People」，其反面的「Big Brother」則指各種具有「ism」的西方建築正統信仰與價值觀；LPA試圖掙脫來自「Big Brothers」的束縛，不服膺權威論述，為建築界注入一股新鮮氣息。為了迎接新的開始，我們決定以本書與這段建築抒情年代告別，將曾經全力以赴的青春歲月記載下來。也許每一位學過建築、曾從事過建築的人，或多或少都可稱為「Little People Architect」吧。謹以本書，提醒自己永遠不忘熱愛建築的初衷，紀念曾經參與過的那些無數徹夜未眠趕圖、在沉默與自嗨之間喃喃自語、笑淚交織的建築時光。
