Book Reviews of Tokio Blues (Norwegian Wood) (Spanish Edition)
Book Review: Juventud, nostalgia y sexo
Summary: 5 Stars
Esta es mi segunda novela de Murakami, la primera fue Cronicas del pájaro queda cuerda al mundo, que es mucho más complicada y surrealista (y muy buena también, aunque me ha gustado mas Tokio blues). Toru Watanabe, de 37 años, recuerda al oir una melodia de los Beatles, sus más preciadas vivencias de juventud. Su amigo Kizuki se suicidó a los 17 años, dejando sola a su novia Naoko, con quien Toru se reencuentra par de años después. Durante varios años, Toru, quien al inicio de la historia acaba de comenzar su vida universitaria en Tokio, lucha por estar con Naoko, enfrentando diversas situaciones en compañía de varios personajes interesantes: el excéntrico compañero de cuarto apodado "Tropa-de-Asalto", el rompecorazones Nagasawa, la extraña e impredecible Midori, y la no menos inusual Reiko, entre otros, quienes en un lenguaje sencillo, de forma clara, sin tabúes, pero sí con mucho sentimiento y realismo, entretejen la historia agri-dulce de un Toru que quiere madurar, amar, ser feliz. A pesar de tratarse básicamente de un amor de juventud, este es un libro que recomiendo más a un adulto que a un adolescente. En él tampoco faltan pasajes tristes o inclusive escandalosos, que deja al lector reflexionando sobre lo que acaba de leer.
Sin duda cada cabeza es un mundo y unas personas lo apreciarán más que otras, y admito que si alguien me hubiese dicho que era la historia de un estudiante universitario enamorado de la novia de su amigo, con mis 27 años probablemente no me hubiese interesado, pero es el estilo, el lenguaje, las descripciones, los personajes, los paisajes, lo que hacen a este libro especial, haciendo al lector -en apenas 381 páginas- añorar, reir, sorprenderse, reflexionar y desear leerlo más de una vez.
