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.

評分##英文很美,但是我覺得做作。
評分##英文翻譯真牛!“sub city”...
評分##五百多頁的長篇,居然能寫得這麼空洞,概念化,莫名其妙,還真是少見...很少讀小說會覺得這麼無聊,想起前些年看「舞舞舞」也是這麼難受... 再次確定村上隻是一個擁有眾多讀者的二流作者。
評分##確切說來是在聽有聲書。有一搭沒一搭,上班路上聽十分鍾。
評分##英文翻譯可讀性強很多,大概一來村上受英文文學影響太重,二來林少華功力還是不行
評分##英文比中文好。
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。
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
