NATIONAL BESTSELLER โข From the acclaimed author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and one of the worldโs greatest storytellers comes โan insistently metaphysical mind-benderโ (The New Yorker) about a teenager on the run and a deceptively simple old man.
Now with a new introduction by the author.
Here we meet fifteen-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.
โAs powerful as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.... Reading Murakami ... is a striking experience in consciousness expansion.โโChicago Tribune
