具体描述
With Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami gives us a novel every bit as ambitious and expansive as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which has been acclaimed both here and around the world for its uncommon ambition and achievement, and whose still-growing popularity suggests that it will be read and admired for decades to come.
This magnificent new novel has a similarly extraordinary scope and the same capacity to amaze, entertain, and bewitch the reader. A tour de force of metaphysical reality, it is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, 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 (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle–yet this, along with 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.
Extravagant in its accomplishment, Kafka on the Shore displays one of the world’s truly great storytellers at the height of his powers.

##20171124 英文的畅快只持续了三章，接着又在无止境的拖沓中，过渡章堪称灾难。想在这样的情节里表达太多，却成了不贴切的堆砌和突如其来的惊吓。古典乐也灾难，人物写着写着就精分了…金句冒得跟伊坂有一拼。朋友推荐，本着既然开始就看完吧，再看看也许后面还不错的心情看完了全书。我想我不会再看村上了…
评分 评分##200页放弃了，不是喜欢的类型。句子不长却仍然让人感觉拖沓
评分 评分 评分##终于读完啦～感觉跟中文版是另外一个味道，猜想日文原版肯定又是另一个味道吧
评分 评分 评分##Always obsessed with Murakami's novels. He is a good story-teller, direct attractive but sometimes disturbing and hard to follow. In this book, Murakami shows his admiring knowledge on the ancient Greek myths and the adventure of a boy with Oedipus Complexion. It's rich in details and feels good to linger on to aftertaste the metaphor
