Kafka on the Shore

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and one of the world’s greatest storytellers comes “”an insistently metaphysical mind-bender” ( The New Yorker ) about a teenager on the run and an aging simpleton. Now with a new introduction by the author. Here we meet 15-year-old runaway Kafka Tamura and the elderly Nakata, who is drawn to Kafka for reasons that he cannot fathom. As their paths converge, acclaimed author Haruki Murakami enfolds readers in a world where cats talk, fish fall from the sky, and spirits slip out of their bodies to make love or commit murder, in what is a truly remarkable journey. “As powerful as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle …. Reading Murakami … is a striking experience in consciousness expansion.” —The Chicago Tribune — ASIN: 1400079276 | ISBN13: 9781400079278 | ISBN-13: 978-1400079278
