Review
A story of love in a cool climate, intensely romantic and weepily beautiful…it is startlingly different: a true original ― Guardian
Casablanca remade Japanese style…It is dream-like writing, laden with scenes which have the radiance of a poem ― The Times
This wise and beautiful book is full of hidden truths ― New York Times
This book aches…an eloquent treatise on the vertiginous, irrational powers of love and desire ― Independent on Sunday
Impressively written and structured… Above all, the novel is memorable for its unflinchingly extreme treatment of romantic love ― Times Literary Supplement
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.
