Kafka on the Shore
Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophecy.
Ā The ageing Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down.
Ā As their parallel odysseys unravel, cats converse with people, fish tumble from the sky; a ghost-like pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since World War II. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle-one of many which combine to create an elegant and dreamlike masterpiece
