Kafka on the Shore

Kafka on the Shore displays one of the world's great storytellers at the peak of his powers. Here we meet a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who is on the run, and Nakata, an aging simpleton 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.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Haruki MurakamiPublisher: VintagePublished: 01/03/2006ISBN: 9781400079278Pages: 467Weight: 0.78lbsSize: 8.04h x 5.38w x 1.08dReview Citations: New York Times 01/15/2006 pg. 28Kliatt 07/01/2006 pg. 21
