Description
By Haruki Murakami
Two stories run in alternate chapters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home on his fifteenth birthday to escape an oedipal prophecy his father laid on him, and ends up living in a small private library in Takamatsu.
Nakata is an old man who lost his memory and his literacy in a wartime incident nobody can explain, and who can talk to cats. Their paths do not cross for a long time, and by the time they do, fish are falling out of the sky and a man dressed as Johnnie Walker is doing something unforgivable.
