«Tòquio blues» (Norwegian Wood) is the novel by Haruki Murakami, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (304 pages, in Catalan).
In the Tokyo of the sixties, Toru Watanabe, an introverted and shy student, is torn between Naoko, a reserved girl, and Midori, a vital and exuberant young woman. With a melancholic and sensual tone, the novel addresses the post-adolescent crisis, the disillusionment of first love, withdrawal into oneself and the transition to adulthood.
This edition corresponds to number 247 of the Empúries Narrativa collection, with a Catalan translation by Albert Nolla Cabellos; the Japanese original was published in 1987.
For readers of literary and contemporary fiction, especially those interested in Japanese narrative and in coming-of-age and love stories.
