Specifications
A young boy, Kafka Tamura, runs away from home either to escape the fulfillment of a tragic Oedipal prophecy or to search for his mother and sister who have been missing for years.
An innocent and not particularly intelligent old man, Nakata, who has never been able to overcome the depression from the war, approaches Kafka and feels a kinship with him for reasons that, like the most basic functions of daily life, he cannot understand.
As their paths intersect, and it gradually becomes clear why, Haruki Murakami immerses his readers in a world where cats walk, fish fall from the sky, and spirits slip out of bodies to make love or commit murder.
One of the greatest storytellers in the world at his best.
Read an excerpt
Sometimes destiny is like a small sandstorm that constantly changes direction. And you may change direction, but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the sandstorm follows you, and you keep going relentlessly, as if dancing a sinister dance with death, just before dawn. Why? Because this sandstorm did not come from somewhere far away, it is not something unrelated to you.
This sandstorm is you. It is inside you. So, you have no choice but to surrender to it, to enter it, to close your eyes and plug your ears, so that the sand does not pass inside you, and step by step cross it. There is no sun there, nor moon, nor compass, no sense of time. Only the magnificent white sand swirling and rising high into the sky like dust from pulverized bones. Such a sandstorm you must imagine.
