Kafka on the Shore

Haruki Murakami· 2002

Nopea yhteenveto

A runaway boy, a gentle old man, and a world that bends quietly around them.

A 15-year-old boy runs away from home and calls himself Kafka. Somewhere else, an old man who can talk to cats begins a strange journey. Their stories slowly reach toward each other. Things happen that don't quite obey logic — and that's part of the point.

Mikä se oikeasti on

Kafka on the Shore is dreamlike. It doesn't always explain itself. It asks you to feel your way through. Underneath the strangeness, it's about being young, being lost, and slowly becoming someone.

“A runaway boy, a gentle old man, and a world that bends quietly around them.”
