Kafka on the Shore (LIVRARE 15 ZILE)

Book Description

Their parallel odysseys are enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerising dramas. Cats converse with people; fish tumble from the sky; 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.

At once a classic tale of quest, Kafka on the Shore is also a bold exploration of mythic and contemporary taboos, of patricide, of mother-love, of sister-love. Above all it is a bewitching and wildly inventive novel from a master stylist.

Reviews

A magnificently bewildering achievement...Brilliantly conceived, bold in its surreal scope, sexy and driven by a snappy plot...Exuberant storytelling" - Independent on Sunday

"For sheer love of a thumping narrative, the novel delivers gloriously... Inventive, alluring" - David Mitchell, Guardian
