Product details

‘Everyone who reads Norwegian Wood runs out to buy copies for friends and lovers.’
  1. Guardian
When the Beatles song of the book’s title plays over an airplane intercom, Toru Watanabe is reminded of Naoko, his first love. Brought together by a traumatic shared experience, the couple find solace in an intense, complicated relationship in which they cocoon themselves from the rest of the world. A beautiful exploration of love, sexuality and grief, the nostalgic narrative is a departure from the author’s typical magical realism and yet it remains distinctly Murakami. The first illustrated edition of Norwegian Wood features the mesmerising artwork of Daniel Liévano, who was awarded the Society of Illustrators Silver Award for his work on our edition of Kafka on the Shore, and whose vision marries perfectly with the dreamlike prose.

Quality of the pages, binding and illustrations is very high, but I expected more vibrant colors of the book cover. Also the book was quite large, more than necessary due to huge margins.
