"A stunning work of art," the New York Observer wrote of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, "that bears no comparisons," and this is also true of this magnificent new novel, which is every bit as ambitious, expansive and bewitching. A tour-de-force of metaphysical reality, Kafka on the Shore is powered by two remarkable characters. At fifteen, Kafka Tamura runs away from home, either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister. And the aging Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction, finds his highly simplified life suddenly upset. Their odyssey, as mysterious to us as it is to them, 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 fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle. Yet this, like 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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分##More like a riddle piecing slowly together. 难得这次村上塑造的每个角色都好喜欢— kafka,nakato,hoshino和oshima。可我真羡慕kafka,每夜都能见到自己爱的人与自己同龄时的模样。
评分##这个英文版还是很好读的。不爽的是国内买居然更便宜!!
评分##(上图借书)还是村上大叔的风格,一是可以当悬疑小说来看因为故事的进程总是有些意外,另一个特点就是口味有点重。似乎比较喜欢看Nakata老人那条故事线。Ps.还书前最后30页在季风书店读的,那里的芝士蛋糕看上去样子一般但味道超出预期的好。
评分No matter how sappy Murakami gets, I will never get tired of him. Kafka on the Shore is an archetypical novel, but also a very modern one. It's about how one becomes brave and becomes themselves, accepting the dull truth of the world, while not losing interest. I am so sad to say goodbye to it.
