    There was something strange about Naoko's becoming twenty. I felt as if the only thing that made sense, whether for Naoko or for me, was to keep going back and forth between eighteen and nineteen. After eighteen would come nineteen, and after nineteen, eighteen. Of course. But she turned twenty. ... (continue)

    There was something strange about Naoko's becoming twenty. I felt as if the only thing that made sense, whether for Naoko or for me, was to keep going back and forth between eighteen and nineteen. After eighteen would come nineteen, and after nineteen, eighteen. Of course. But she turned twenty. And in the fall, I would do the same.
    Only the dead stay seventeen forever.

    My first Murakami ever.
    A love ballad about shadow (Naoko), light (Midori) and a young boy becoming a man.

    My 1st Haruki Murakami

    Wonder if this is a good one to start as Murakami-san's 1st book. What attracted was more than was C's recommendation of its superior English translator and the famous book title. It was the 1st page's similarity to my submission to school.

    Wonder if this is a good one to start as Murakami-san's 1st book. What attracted was more than was C's recommendation of its superior English translator and the famous book title. It was the 1st page's similarity to my submission to school.

    I was expecting more since the start date on the 1st page was so many years after the actual story took place. Nonetheless, it still strikes me as a delicately wrote book with so much sentimental details described.

    It will be hard to translate into a movie but as a novel, it is a good read.

    In a perfect world, things go as they ought to and we don't get burdened by ghosts from the past. But this world's not perfect: things take normally care of themeselves as they will and there are plenty of ghosts from the past always tampering with our present lives.

    In a perfect world, things go as they ought to and we don't get burdened by ghosts from the past. But this world's not perfect: things take normally care of themeselves as they will and there are plenty of ghosts from the past always tampering with our present lives. We just have to learn how to share our daily lives with them, or live regardless of them.
    Norwegian Wood is a story full of ghosts, telling about people coping with them in different ways. Are there "wrong" or "right" ways to do that? It appears not: there are just "ways".
    Norwegian Wood is about memories, feelings, the attempt - desperate and useless at times - to find a true life and a true love.

  • Malinconico. Peccato che la svolta finale puzzi un po' di deus ex machina (buffo tra l'altro che il protagonista parli proprio dell'uso che fa Euripide del deus ex machina con un signore che morirà di lì a poco: metaletteratura?), ma l'atmosfera del libro è fortissima.

  • MESMERIZING

    Excellent book, but different from western literature and I cannot say exactly why. Is it because the characters show little passion? because of the frank, unexciting sex descriptions? Because of the double-spaced text lay out, or because it reminds me of Sartre and the period of depression I was ... (continue)

    Excellent book, but different from western literature and I cannot say exactly why. Is it because the characters show little passion? because of the frank, unexciting sex descriptions? Because of the double-spaced text lay out, or because it reminds me of Sartre and the period of depression I was going through when reading it? Nevertheless the book stays with you long after the last page is read.
