Only the Dead stay seventeen forever.<\/p>

\u2015 Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood<\/p>

In my eyes, a book requires three things to mystify me and envelop me in its world. This timeless creation, Norwegian Wood, had all of these and more, making me finish a book of more than 300 pages in just three days (and I\u2019m the slowest reader I know).<\/p>

In this dominant era of social media, while I grasped myself in the world of 1960s Japan, I felt every bit of it flying, transcending the boundary of time and space. And what I found is that it\u2019s all the same. Love, the word, as it was back then and now, failed miserably to define what it truly means. One thing, though, this guy Love could make clear\u2014it\u2019s way beyond the flesh and body; there\u2019s more to it beyond that.<\/p>

The story is told by an 18-year-old varsity boy, Toru, who lives in a boys\u2019 dormitory and reluctantly joins his classes in university, practically indifferent to anything. He loves to read The Great Gatsby and reads it over and over again. He has nothing in particular\u2014just an ordinary guy, just that all, until last summer. Then, his best friend and only friend, Kizuki, commits suicide\u2014just like that. For him, this is the first knock of death, which would haunt him forever, till his last breath, I suppose.<\/p>

After Kizuki\u2019s death, all Toru ever wanted was to escape the silhouette of Kizuki\u2019s death. Suddenly, he crosses paths with Naoko, Kizuki\u2019s girlfriend\u2014or you may also say, soulmate\u2014because with Naoko, Kizuki had literally spent their entire childhood. They kissed each other when they learned what a kiss was, so their bond was that close. From here, the story unfolds and stirs our human nature in the truest form. The book captures the painful transition from adolescence to adulthood, shaking the core realm of existence. My words to you might seem a bit extraneous, but I mean it. At least when I read the book or as I write this review, I am also going through something like this.<\/p>

Just after 169 days, I\u2019ll be graduating from this place, which I\u2019ve called home for the last six years. So, for Toru, when he left his hometown for Tokyo, he might have gone through the same rush of emotions. In his new dorm, he finds a roommate named Storm Trooper, who\u2019s a clean freak and always delved into studying maps and wanted to work in the geographical survey board. The book just goes on saying things\u2014real stuff, no exaggeration\u2014just narrating life, knitting words by words. This is one of the three things that made me fall for the book\u2014the simple portrayal of life. Maybe that\u2019s why I\u2019m never into all those fantasy-fiction stories.<\/p>

Toru, while passing his days in the whirlpool of lectures, spends time with Naoko. They walk, visit places, and both know it\u2019s been a year since Kizuki\u2019s gone, and they must move forward for their betterment. Yet, intimacy could barely touch two bodies though their souls are intertwined. Not long into the book, you meet more characters, and Nagasawa amazes me\u2014as it would amaze anyone who reads the book. Nagasawa, a senior of Toru, sees life through a philosophy of \u201cprivilege without guilt,\u201d and he is also a serial womanizer despite having a girl like Hatsumi, who would practically do everything for him. When a book coincides with your personal experience, you just feel like someone is writing your story. It gives a sense of satisfaction\u2014not being odd or having nothing in common with the world. How else would the writer know your story? In my case, I\u2019d rush to my house and grab the book whenever I had the time to read, because I had to read my story fast. This trait amazes me\u2014a book that tells the reader\u2019s story.<\/p>

I bet while reading, you would also be in Toru\u2019s position when you meet Midori, one of his classmates, with whom Toru used to spend Sundays. Midori\u2019s story has been full of melancholy, and it\u2019s so touching that you might fall into the trap of tears. Unlike me, Midori went to an all-girls\u2019 school, and that made her so curious about her counterpart\u2014men. She had a keen interest in how the whole boys\u2019 system worked, whether sensual or mental. I may not say more about the most amazing and strong girl of the book\u2014her childishness and seriousness are yours to explore.<\/p>

Toru\u2019s life goes on, as it always would. People come from far away to get acquainted with and then fade away. He turns 20, sees more of life, shifts his house, and this continuity of life is a trait we all forget. If anything that might make us optimistic, it\u2019s understanding that \u201cnothing really matters.\u201d Such a philosophical aspect is rare to find in our real life, and this fiction, taking a minimalistic approach, makes you understand it. That\u2019s what makes this fiction stand out. As you keep reading, your veins would all tangle and straighten by themselves to show you the deep sense of understanding of the moving nature of life. The book would certainly plant a seed of optimism towards life when you go through the pages with your teary eyes and heavy heart. I wish I had never read the book so I could read it again for the first time. And this is the third quality that makes a book outstanding in my mind.<\/p>

Hope you find peace in sadness as the dreary soul of yours is engulfed by my dear lonely friend Naoko.<\/p>

PS: I will always remember you, Naoko, no matter what.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
