What is Kafka on the Shore about?
<p>with <i>kafka On The Shore,</i> Haruki Murakami Gives Us A Novel Every Bit As Ambitious And Expansive As <i>the Wind-up Bird Chronicle,</i> 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.<br><br>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 Rainstorm
