Haruki Murakami’s Norwegian Wood (novel)- A Review

Abstract

The title of the book is a Beatles track. And as you listen to the track for the first time after finishing the book, “I once had a girl.”, the book becomes almost tangible, with chills and nostalgia.

Set in retrospect, the book begins with the mention of a well. A deep well in the woods, easy to fall into, impossible to come out of. And I think it was a metaphorical foreshadowing of the fate of Toru. (Protagonist)
