具體描述
With Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami gives us a novel every bit as ambitious and expansive as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which has been acclaimed both here and around the world for its uncommon ambition and achievement, and whose still-growing popularity suggests that it will be read and admired for decades to come.
This magnificent new novel has a similarly extraordinary scope and the same capacity to amaze, entertain, and bewitch the reader. A tour de force of metaphysical reality, it is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle–yet this, along with everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own.
Extravagant in its accomplishment, Kafka on the Shore displays one of the world’s truly great storytellers at the height of his powers.

##Always obsessed with Murakami's novels. He is a good story-teller, direct attractive but sometimes disturbing and hard to follow. In this book, Murakami shows his admiring knowledge on the ancient Greek myths and the adventure of a boy with Oedipus Complexion. It's rich in details and feels good to linger on to aftertaste the metaphor

評分##All the characters are pretty lonesome and eccentric in their own ways (save Hoshino, maybe). However, each of them bond with one another in a special and strong way, and that's what moved me the most about the book. They can understand each other before words are exchanged. The translation is beautiful, I once again want to say how much I hate林少華
評分##不過是村上情節發作而已，英譯很漂亮，和漢譯完全不是一迴事，我不禁開始懷疑村上的文風究竟如何。不過轉手二道，各有韆鞦，隻是其中的《海邊的卡夫卡》歌詞，確實比林叔叔翻譯得要漂亮得多。
