When a Song Becomes a Memory
Picture a 37-year-old man on a plane, hearing a Beatles song through tinny speakers, and suddenly being pulled back through nearly two decades of memory. That's how Haruki Murakami's "Norwegian Wood" begins-not with dramatic action, but with the way a melody can resurrect our past with startling intensity. The novel, named after that very song about a failed romantic encounter, became a cultural earthquake in Japan. It sold over 10 million copies, transformed Murakami from respected writer to reluctant celebrity, and forced him to flee his own country to escape the overwhelming attention. What makes a story about grief, sex, and young love resonate so deeply? Perhaps because it speaks to something universal: the way loss reshapes us, and how we struggle to move forward while honoring what we've left behind.
