Wau. Myslím, že Murakami je můj neoblíbenější úchylák. Jeho knížky jsou prostě unikátní. Dokáže velmi rychle a jednoduše vykreslit magickou atmosféru japonského prostředí a její interpretaci západní kultury. A to se mu podařilo i u Norského dřeva. O čem ta kniha vlastně je? O pozdním dospívání, o samotě, o smrti, o přátelství a ... o sexu. Jako vždy jde i o sex, někdy i o hodně divoké pedofilní lesbické hrátky (btw. Tahle scéna byla vážně trochu moc, ale nejsem takovej puritán takže nechávám plné skóre.). Je strašně zajímavé že všechno jeho knížky jsou trochu o ničem – vhled do normálního (nebo lehce abnormálního) života lidí a stejně mě baví - je to Murakamiho magie všedního života.

When I was 17, one of my best friends died. He was found in a practice room at his university. To read Norwegian Wood was to revisit myself at that funeral.

I bought this in a book store in Kentucky two years ago and finally started reading it. I finished the book in less than a week. I’m not usually one to underline text in a novel, but I happened to have a pencil on my coffee table while reading this and there are a few lines that stood out to me as exceptional prose. I look forward to rereading this in the future.

Many of the women in this story are well ideated but poorly written characters. I think it is particularly annoying that the narrator has sex with all but one named female character; even then I was worried that Toru would turn his moment of chivalry with Hatsumi into an excuse to bed her.
