Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at fifteen, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; a ghostlike pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night; a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since WWII. There is a savage killing, but the identity of both victim and killer is a riddle. Murakami's novel is at once a classic quest, but it is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is an entertainment of a very high order.
##for the very first time found out that English is so much easier to be understood than Chinese... too much descriptions though...beautifully adapted:)
評分##奇異的劇情,特彆的主角,分綫敘事,不過不變的是村上春樹那雋永的文字,還有濃濃的和風。
評分##like alice in wonderland - but better.
評分##無論是林、施、賴,Jay還是Philip翻譯齣來的都是明顯的村上味。村上最擅長寫的還是迷失啊

評分##怎麼說呢,我很喜歡譯者啊……

評分英文版太美妙瞭,可能是最接近村上本人的譯本,我已經不能忍受中文版不知所雲的翻譯。
