Kafka on the Shore

by Haruki Murakami

One of The New York Times' 10 Best Books of 2005, Kafka on the Shore displays one the world's great storytellers at the peak of his powers. We meet a teenage boy. Kafka Tamura, who is on the run and Nakata, an aging simpleton who is drawn to Kafka for reasons he cannot fathom. As their paths converge, the story enfolds readers in a world where cats talk, fish fall from the sky, and spirits slip out of their bpdies to make love or commit murder, in what is a truly remarkable journey.
