About the book

Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami is a beautifully introspective novel about identity, loss, and the complexities of friendship. The story centers on Tsukuru Tazaki, a man in his thirties who has lived a quiet, solitary life in Tokyo, working as a railway station designer. Tsukuru has always felt a sense of emptiness, a void that began in his youth when he was abruptly cut off from his close-knit group of friends.

Growing up in a small town, Tsukuru was part of a tight group of five friends, each with a name representing a color. Tsukuru’s name, however, means “colorless,” a detail that has always made him feel like the odd one out. One day, without explanation, the group suddenly excludes him, and Tsukuru is left devastated. This event, which Tsukuru never fully understood, haunts him throughout his life.

As an adult, Tsukuru begins to unravel the mystery of why his friends abandoned him. His journey takes him across Japan and back into his past, where he confronts the painful truths about his relationships and himself. Along the way, he also develops a new relationship with a woman named Sara, who helps him process his feelings of loneliness and loss.

Murakami’s novel is deeply emotional, exploring themes of alienation, the passage of time, and the search for meaning in life. It’s a meditation on how we define ourselves through our relationships and how the past continues to shape who we are. Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki is a quiet yet powerful story, full of Murakami’s signature blend of surrealism, melancholy, and philosophical musings, making it a captivating read for those interested in introspective, character-driven tales.
