Beskrivning
'A masterly novel' New York Times'Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility' GuardianRead the haunting love story that turned Murakami into a literary superstar.When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past.'Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around' Time Out'Poignant, romantic and hopeless, it beautifully encapsulates the heartbreak and loss of faith' Sunday Times'This 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 Sunday

Mer om författaren

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, First Person Singular and The City and Its Uncertain Walls 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.Jay Rubin is the author of Injurious to Public Morals: Writers and the Meiji State and Making Sense of Japanese, and he edited Modern Japanese Writers for the Scribner Writers Series. He has translated into English two novels by the Japanese writer Soseki Natsume, and also Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle and after the quake.

  1. 5/5 Vilver-Demon

    Norwegian Wood is good. One of the best books I've read, no doubt. I love the way Murakami writes, he have a flow few can match. It's a book about life and about death. It's about friends and lovers. It's about being stuck in the past. It's about life during the end of the 60's through the eye's of a college student named Toru Watanabe and everyone he interacts with. Which isn't that many people, howvever they are interesting. Unforgettable book.

    "I decided that I would be able to forget about what had happened when enough time had passed, but I couldn't forget."

  2. 5/5 Annie

    Jag tyckte mycket om den här boken. Efter att ha läst flera böcker av Murakami kan jag tycka att han är lite tjatig, men ska man läsa någon av hans böcker tycker jag att man ska läsa den här.

  3. 5/5 Sjovis

    Fantastiskt bra! Fin, sorglig, inkännande, egen, unik!
