Kafka on the Shore

"Kafka on the Shore" follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle.

I am going to join the "Virtuaalinen palkintokaappi" with this book, which has got many literature prizes, for example World Fantasy Award in 2006.

Amazing story, beautifully written and full of mystery, philosophical riddles, everything. I am surely going to buy this book for my permanent bookself some day.

For TiiMa by mail :)
Thank you so much Chania for sending this book! This will be my first novel written by Murakami.
(It didn't take this long to arrive; I just wasn't at home to journal it).

Wow, that was a story! I was SO thrilled by this... I just loved it. I think I want to read this a second time later on, but not right away, so this copy is continuing it's journey.
Thank you Chania for sharing this story!

This was an extraordinary story - and a very good one, too! I must soon read more Murakami's books. Only I have too many books on my TBR mountain.
I gave the book to a friend.
Happy reading!

Kirja on annettu kuriirin haltuun, joka on matkalla Turkuun.
Lukuiloa!
Unohdin päivittää kansikuvan. Toisen rekkaamalle kirjalle sen voi tehdä vain jos kirja on omassa hyllyssä. Täytyy ottaa kirja hyllyyn ja poista journali kuvan lisäämisen jälkeen.
