First American Publication
This stunning and elegiac novel by the author of the internationally acclaimed Wind-Up Bird Chronicle has sold over 4 million copies in Japan and is now available to American audiences for the first time. It is sure to be a literary event.
Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. Toru begins to adapt to campus life and the loneliness and isolation he faces there, but Naoko finds the pressures and responsibilities of life unbearable. As she retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself reaching out to others and drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman.
A poignant story of one college student's romantic coming-of-age, Norwegian Wood takes us to that distant place of a young man's first, hopeless, and heroic love.
"[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."
Kirkus, 07/01/2000
Review:"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."
Janice P. Nimura, New York Times Book Review, 09/24/2000
