This is nothing new of course, but serves as a nice reminder of a good way to drive a story forward.īeing able to see a different perspective gives space to the reader to identify with the multiple characters instead of sympathizing with only a single one. The story of 1Q84 is weaved alternating through the eyes of two main characters, and a sporadic third one at the end. If the story is well-thought of, today’s reader is ready to invest his/her time in indulging in a long narrative.Īlso, the popularity of all the recent serialized novels is a great example of people’s preferences: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones. Although it’s been said that in this age of information abundance we have shorter attention spans and readers in general are only skimming through pages, not everything should be short and packed.
