Kafka On The Shore

In Norwegian Wood, Haruki Murakami takes readers along on a journey in which they meet Kafka, a teenage boy who is on the run, and Nakata, an aging simpleton who is drawn to Kafka for reasons that he cannot fathom. As their paths converge, Murakami enfolds readers in a world where cats talk, fish fall from the sky, and spirits slip out of their bodies to make love or commit murder. It is truly remarkable.
