Murakami's 1Q84 due in English

Hotly anticipated translation of Japanese sensation will be published in a single, 1,000-page volume Great news for Haruki Murakami fans: the long-awaited English translation of 1Q84, the writer's epic novel in three volumes that has proved a huge hit in his native Japan, will be published in English in October. All three sections are to appear together in a single 1,000-page volume, translated by Harvard professor Jay Rubin. The news came in an exuberant Tweet from Knopf US publicity director Paul Bogaards.

Jonathan and Julie Myerson on Blue Valentine: almost too painful to watch

Novelist Julie Myerson and her husband, screenwriter Jonathan Myerson, offer widely differing views on what has been labelled the most depressing relationship film ever HER VIEW: 'After the sex, prepare for real life or be torn apart' How many terrible marriages begin this way? Dean and Cindy have only known each other a matter of weeks and seem to have shared no more than a few laughs and a few orgasms when she accidentally gets pregnant. Cindy has ambitions. She wants to study to be a doctor. With Dean's support, she books an abortion, only to find she can't go through with it. Dean, meanwhile, who works for a removals firm and doesn't seem to boast much by way of professional ambition, is understanding. He puts his arms around her, says maybe they should be "a family".
