Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

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

'Such is the exquisite, gossamer construction of Murakami's writing that everything he chooses to describe trembles with symbolic possibility' Guardian

'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

Kritikerstimmen

Norwegian Wood is Japan's The Catcher in the Rye
Everyone 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
A masterly novel. . . . Norwegian Wood bears the unmistakable marks of Murakami's hand
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
Catches 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
A heart-stoppingly moving story... Murakami is, without a doubt, one of the world's finest novelists
Evocative, entertaining, sexy and funny; but then Murakami is one of the best writers around
Norwegian Wood . . . not only points to but manifests the author's genius
An intimate and dark story... A beautifully introspective novel that made me feel all the emotions
Murakami must already rank among the world's greatest living novelists

Sublime performance of a wonderful story. I devoured this narrative and had an absolute blast. Thank you for that.

Fantastic

This is my second book of his( Kafka on the shore was the first). With Murakami you kinda know what you get, a somewhat likable/unlikable main character, some perversion, Suden deaths, the title being a real world song and a great story. If you like murakamis other work you are going to like this as well.

Classic Murakami

I really struggled to finish it and wonder how I managed to sit all the way through. Murakami depicts the women in his novel in such a shallow and unrealistic way that it makes you wonder if the author ever talked to a real woman in his life. The story is boring and keeps a suicidal and sentimental undertone through out the book that had me rolling my eyes constantly. The only thing I did enjoy are the narrators detailed description of food and drinks he seems to be consuming all the time.

Disappointed

When I read Kafka on the shore I was like: "Well I guess these weird sex scenes are necessary to make the story work". In this book, the story is completely removed and replaced by ever repeating, boring storylines with the least relatable characters I ever came across. It's just a vehicle for sex. The focus is put on a set of over-the-top damsel-in-distress type women, that manage to be both crazy and outstandingly boring at the same time. I guess this is an arousing setting for some. Don't read this. Read Kafka on the shore.

An empty shell of a book consisting of weird sex
