«Norwegian Wood»: A Review of Haruki Murakami’s Novel

A review of Haruki Murakami’s novel, «Norwegian Wood,» was published on my personal Telegram channel on December 14, 2024. In the review, I analyze why this story diverges from Murakami’s usual style, how Japanese and Western cultures are interwoven within it, and why the atmosphere of 1960s Tokyo feels so vibrant that the book deserves to be called a «teleporter» to that era. I serve as the author, critic, and editor of the text. The material’s goal is to convey the emotional experience of reading to the audience and to demonstrate how literature can inspire reflection on love, loss, and human nature. A Spotify playlist is also attached to the review, serving as a musical accompaniment to the book.
