具体描述
"A stunning work of art," the New York Observer wrote of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, "that bears no comparisons," and this is also true of this magnificent new novel, which is every bit as ambitious, expansive and bewitching. A tour-de-force of metaphysical reality, Kafka on the Shore is powered by two remarkable characters. At fifteen, Kafka Tamura runs away from home, either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister. And the aging Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction, finds his highly simplified life suddenly upset. Their odyssey, as mysterious to us as it is to them, 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 rainstorms of fish fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle. Yet this, like everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

评分No matter how sappy Murakami gets, I will never get tired of him. Kafka on the Shore is an archetypical novel, but also a very modern one. It's about how one becomes brave and becomes themselves, accepting the dull truth of the world, while not losing interest. I am so sad to say goodbye to it.
评分##相比林少华的译本，这本英译本更像侦探小说了，全当拓展词汇量读了/英译本的质量其实很高，但花时间学日语读原版好像更值得做一些 555
评分##用英文读村上春树是一个祛魅的过程，没有了那些刻意的排版，更能确认他的风格是在故事脉络里。前半部分我笃定nakata是卡夫卡的幻影，中间我笃定卡夫卡是nakata的幻影，看到最后放弃了对所谓故事结局的推断游戏。卡夫卡和nakata是被什么联系在一起？是战争、自然、梦境、隐喻、命运中的痛楚。一部分的自己是落失的，而他们也并没有相遇，只是或明或暗地孤立存在着，这样或许也是一种完全。为什么父亲以Johnnie Walker的形象出现？肯德基上校和叫羊男的鸟人代表什么？还有很多人物和故事线没能被我justify，但是或许这才是这个故事想要的态度。像那滴血浸润卡夫卡的心，像故事结尾那颗雨里的泪。融入故事本身，成为它的一部分。当你走过了暴风，尽管什么也没有得到，但你已经不是同一个人了，我们都去到新世界。
评分 评分##自成一派的村上春树，奇幻的场景，平行空间的设定，两个故事间若有若无的相似元素，让人有很大的空间进行连接和想象。书中印象最深刻的就是那块大石头，将它的位置进行移动，仿佛这个世界上的概念，情感，时间，生命就随之发生了变化。
