Murakami's books are decent, and they speak to the culture in Japan. But they all have incel vibes. They all deal with a lonely/isolated/misunderstood male protagonist, and most of the women could be described as manic pixie characters who come into their lives for the sole purpose of growth of the male lead. He writes what he knows, and he is an aging Japanese man.

Damn, I was just making a Beatles reference but I appreciate the thoughtful reply. That's interesting, is it a throughline of several Murakami works or just this one? Because your description fits the song to a T, although its lyrics were clearly sardonic

I think his books are wonderful yet, I have not read this one yet. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is my favorite, and it was so interesting and quite different from anything I have ever read!

Norwegian Wood is an easily digestible bildungsroman that is suitable for young adults minus some erotic scenes.

free at your public library, most likely available in ebook and audiobook. but there could be a line to get it.

From overdrive:
From the bestselling author of Kafka on the Shore: A magnificent coming-of-age story steeped in nostalgia, "a masterly novel" (The New York Times Book Review) blending the music, the mood, and the ethos that were the sixties with a young man's hopeless and heroic first love.
Now with a new introduction by the author.

Toru, a serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. As Naoko retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman.
Stunning and elegiac, Norwegian Wood first propelled Haruki Murakami into the forefront of the literary scene.
