"Though it may feel uncharacteristically straightforward to his American following, NORWEGIAN WOOD bears the unmistakable marks of Murakami's hand....[T]his is no exercise in soft-focus nostalgia, but an urgent attempt to preserve an exquisitely painful time....In some ways, the landscape of NORWEGIAN WOOD is as disconcerting as that of Murakami's weirdest work." "[O]ne of Murakami's most appealing--if uncharacteristic--books....A contemporary equivalent of THIS SIDE OF PARADISE or VILE BODIES, and another solid building-block in one of contemporary fiction's most energetic and impressive bodies of work." Publisher's noteThe tragic death of their best friend has a profound influence on the passionate relationship between Toru, a serious young college student in Tokyo, and Naoko, an introspective, beauty, as Toru finds himself drawn to an independent, sexually liberated young woman. AnnotationToru is a student in Japan who is involved with two women: Naoko, a schizophrenic who is eventually institutionalized; and Midori, with whom he has an ambiguous sexual relationship. The group of students of which Toru is a part is a highly intellectual one, devoted to literature, and their conversation is part of the appeal of Murakami's romantic, sexually frank, and highly enjoyable novel.
