Norwegian Wood. Tokyo Blues by Haruki Murakami
Tokyo Blues
A nostalgic, melancholic coming-of-age narrative following a young college student in 1960s Tokyo as he copes with the suicide of a close friend and the complex, fragile relationship that follows with the friend's emotionally wounded girlfriend; his life is further complicated by a spirited, unpredictable classmate who awakens his desires and forces him to confront love, loss, and loneliness. Through intimate, reflective prose the story explores grief, mental illness, sexual awakening, and the difficulty of moving on.
