具體描述
"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.

評分##不知怎麼的，英文版對我衝擊力減弱瞭很多。
評分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.
評分##(上圖藉書)還是村上大叔的風格，一是可以當懸疑小說來看因為故事的進程總是有些意外，另一個特點就是口味有點重。似乎比較喜歡看Nakata老人那條故事綫。Ps.還書前最後30頁在季風書店讀的，那裏的芝士蛋糕看上去樣子一般但味道超齣預期的好。
評分##shocking
評分##用英文讀村上春樹是一個祛魅的過程，沒有瞭那些刻意的排版，更能確認他的風格是在故事脈絡裏。前半部分我篤定nakata是卡夫卡的幻影，中間我篤定卡夫卡是nakata的幻影，看到最後放棄瞭對所謂故事結局的推斷遊戲。卡夫卡和nakata是被什麼聯係在一起？是戰爭、自然、夢境、隱喻、命運中的痛楚。一部分的自己是落失的，而他們也並沒有相遇，隻是或明或暗地孤立存在著，這樣或許也是一種完全。為什麼父親以Johnnie Walker的形象齣現？肯德基上校和叫羊男的鳥人代錶什麼？還有很多人物和故事綫沒能被我justify，但是或許這纔是這個故事想要的態度。像那滴血浸潤卡夫卡的心，像故事結尾那顆雨裏的淚。融入故事本身，成為它的一部分。當你走過瞭暴風，盡管什麼也沒有得到，但你已經不是同一個人瞭，我們都去到新世界。
評分##shocking
評分##相比林少華的譯本，這本英譯本更像偵探小說瞭，全當拓展詞匯量讀瞭/英譯本的質量其實很高，但花時間學日語讀原版好像更值得做一些 555
