Query: Good book - but please don't trivialise youth suicide

A well-written story of life, love and death, set in a University and institutional environment in the late 60s. The author rolls out many musical and literary references evocative of the times, but this is overdone and seems to be used as a heavy handed mechanism (cheap trick?) to constantly remind of the era. The protagonist and his circle encounter many suicides in their short lives - and unfortunately, to my mind, Norwegian Wood trivialises the raw agony of this blight on Japanese and Western society. Still, an interesting character study and if nothing else, it drives you back to a great Beatle's classic to fathom a connection with Murakami's tale.
