Review
Norwegian Wood is Japan's The Catcher in the Rye ― Daily TelegraphEveryone who reads Norwegian Wood runs out to buy copies for friends and lovers... Drawing on Fitzgerald, Capote, Chandler and the Japanese tradition, his books are at once disarmingly direct and slyly, charmingly evasive. They are playful and melancholy; full of wrong turns and red herrings, corridors that lead nowhere and - above all - girls who disappear ― GuardianA masterly novel. . . . Norwegian Wood bears the unmistakable marks of Murakami's hand ― The New York Times Book ReviewThis book is undeniably hip, full of student uprisings, free love, booze and 1960s pop, it's also genuinely emotionally engaging, and describes the highs of adolescence as well as the lows ― Independent on SundayCatches the absorption and giddy rush of adolescent love... It is also, for all the tragic momentum and the apparently kamikaze consciousness of many of its characters, often funny and quirkily observed. Quietly compulsive and finally moving ― Times Literary SupplementA heart-stoppingly moving story... Murakami is, without a doubt, one of the world's finest novelists ― Glasgow HeraldEvocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around ― Time OutNorwegian Wood . . . not only points to but manifests the author's genius ― Chicago TribuneAn intimate and dark story... A beautifully introspective novel that made me feel all the emotions ― CosmopolitanMurakami must already rank among the world's greatest living novelists ― GuardianSuch is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility ― GuardianVintage Murakami [and] easily the most erotic of [his] novels ― Los Angeles Times Book Review[A] treat...Murakami captures the heartbeat of his generation and draws the reader in so completely you mourn when the story is done ― Baltimore SunMurakami's most famous coming of age novel of love, loss and longing ― Dazed and Confused
About the Author
In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers' award and was published the following year. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, that turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. In works such as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and Men Without Women, Murakami's distinctive blend of the mysterious and the everyday, of melancholy and humour, continues to enchant readers, ensuring his place as one of the world's most acclaimed and well-loved writers.
