“Narrow minds devoid of imagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutely fear and loathe.”
In this musical, metaphysical mind-better, Haruki Murakami crafts a beautiful story that makes readers willing to believe in talking cats, fish falling from the sky, dream-like sex with ghosts that linger in an alternate reality, and a modern-day oedipal prophecy. A wild but moving ride from start to finish, Kafka on the Shore is an enchanting tale of mystery, daring quests, love, and self-discovery that you don’t want to miss.
