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.

##京東買的就這封麵，就衝著這封麵買的。順便說，一搜索，感覺英譯版的封麵設計簡直都一個原則——要有貓。
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##英文版倒是流暢自然得多。可見林版的翻譯水準…
評分##自成一派的村上春樹，奇幻的場景，平行空間的設定，兩個故事間若有若無的相似元素，讓人有很大的空間進行連接和想象。書中印象最深刻的就是那塊大石頭，將它的位置進行移動，仿佛這個世界上的概念，情感，時間，生命就隨之發生瞭變化。

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##When you are in the rain, you are part of the rain.
評分##shocking
評分##這個英文版還是很好讀的。不爽的是國內買居然更便宜！！
