Reading Murakami Haruki's 1Q84 (Intermediate/Advanced Book)

[Belerith]

Time for chapter 8~ I remember being pretty excited about this chapter when I read through the chapter titles 2 months ago.
Somehow I’ve gotten pretty behind though.

Murakami 1Q84 Book Two Chapter 8: 天吾：そろそろ猫たちがやってくる時刻だ

Welcome to the Book 2 前編 chapter 8 thread! Refer to the Home Thread for the schedule and links to specific threads. Please pay attention to the warnings, as some of them apply specifically to book 2!

Content Warnings

This story contains themes of an adult and/or sensitive nature, including cults, sex, murder, and sexual abuse of children, both mentioned, and graphic (though not until Book 2, in the latter case).
