One big tear spilled from her eye. Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. Naoko bent forward on all fours on the floor, and pressing her palms to the mat, began to cry with the force of a person vomiting. Never in my life had I seen anyone cry with such intensity. Supporting her weight with my left arm, I used my right hand to caress her soft straight hair. And I waited, in that position, I waited for Naoko to stop crying, and I went on waiting, but Naoko's crying never stopped.
Murakami denies that the events in Norwegian Wood are drawn from his own life, but he admits that Toru reflects his own sentiments. Murakami's ability to authentically evoke the smell of adolescence in this melancholy rites-of-passage love story has led the book to be dubbed the Japanese Catcher in the Rye.
