Kafka on the Shore

A novel by the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami that follows two journeys in alternating chapters. Fifteen-year-old Kafka Tamura runs away from home and finds shelter in a quiet private library, while Nakata, a gentle old man who can talk with cats, sets out on a strange errand of his own. Dreamlike and mysterious, it blends everyday detail with the fantastic and leaves much for the reader to ponder. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
