| Book Description | Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami... Norwegian Wood, the name of a famous song by the Beatles, is a title that immediately refers to the harsh weather of northern Europe, and indicates the subject of the novel that the author avoided revealing. Naoko, one of the novel's protagonists, says, "This song makes me feel overwhelming sadness. I don't know. I feel like I'm wandering in a deep forest. I'm alone in the cold darkness, with no one coming to save me. That's why Raiko never plays it unless I ask her to." Haruki Murakami comes late, as he is (the prodigal son), not only in Japan, as an outsider to the privacy of Japanese society's writers, but also in the other languages into which his literature has been translated, reaching 38 languages, including Arabic. Perhaps his novel (Norwegian Wood) stands as the clearest expression of the delusion that he chose as a distinctive feature of his literature. His novels, in general, are full of characters addicted to marginal life, within a daily routine that is a mixture of surreal magic and crude realism, which ironically goes to the point of absurdity and searching for major questions about identity, but without being direct, which gives his literature a police touch in presenting the plot, without there being a policeman, a lawyer, or a criminal in the scene. In (Norwegian Wood), Murakami presents Japan in a way that makes everything simple, from music, to friendship, to love and death, until it seems that every situation, and every word, in the novel, is blatantly clear, which makes writing about the novel take on its difficulty from this observation. |
